Panasonic Solutions Company, a provider of rugged mobile
technology solutions for the Public Sector, today announced that
the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) in Los Angeles,
California, the largest Sheriff’s department in the United States,
has selected its Toughbook® 31 and Toughbook CF-19 fully-rugged
mobile computers for countywide vehicle deployment, as part of the
LASD Mobile Digital Computer (MDC) project. More than 2,600 patrol
vehicles and 100 motor units will be outfitted with the in-vehicle
computing solutions, which will serve as mobile command centers for
Sheriffs in the field. The deployment is expected to be completed
by mid-2013.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Mobile Digital
Computer Solution is the result of a competitive bid process in
which the Raytheon Company proposed the Panasonic laptops to meet
the Sheriff’s requirements. As a result of this bid and ultimate
win, thousands of vehicles will receive the new Mobile Digital
Computers (MDCs) with embedded commercial wireless access. These
new and upgraded devices will provide deputies with faster access
to information, report writing, email and intranet, and automated
routing to calls via GPS.
“The Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers met our requirements
because of the computer’s specifications, proven quality,
durability and reliability, and, so far, Panasonic has exceeded our
expectations,” said Captain Scott Edson of the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department. “This extensive deployment of a best-in-class
mobile computer is representative of our commitment to investing in
the future of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as we
continuously look for ways to provide our deputies with the best
communications tools to enhance our knowledge in the field and help
us better serve the public.”
The MDC project represents the largest deployment of mobile
digital computers to a Sheriff’s department in the country.
Raytheon Company serves as the prime contractor responsible for
managing the project and integrating all units and systems, while
Panasonic Solutions Company is responsible for providing its
Toughbook 31 and Toughbook CF-19 mobile computers and wireless
access technologies. The wireless system provides access to the
AT&T 4G network through Qualcomm Gobi Mobile.
“We are honored that our Toughbook mobile computers have been
chosen by such a large and well-respected law enforcement
department as the Los Angeles County Sheriffs’,” said Scott French,
vice president of public sector sales for Panasonic Solutions
Company. “By deploying the Toughbook mobile computers, the
Department has taken an important step to empower its deputies with
mobile computing technologies that will dramatically improve
productivity and efficiency.”
The LASD Mobile Digital Computer project was officially
announced to the public at a launch event in Los Angeles on
November 2nd, 2011.
As the largest sheriff’s department in the United States, the
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department includes 18,000 total sworn
and professional staff members who patrol over 4,000-plus square
miles and serve a population of over 10 million people.
