Sneak Peek – Battle Systems Introduces a Right-sized Marker Panel

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Battle Systems LLC gave us a sneak peek of their new marker panel. It is made from much lighter materials, allowing the user to fold it up and stash it in a shoulder pocket or admin pouch without hinderance. It also features a loop Velcro square on each side for a 2″x2″ IR reflective patch which they’ll be offering as a drop-down menu item.

This is a great size for 99% of uses. Sure, some units will still need to use full size VS-17 panels but the average guy cuts his down anyway to save space and weight.

These will be available mid-June from www.battlesystemsllc.com

Motorola LEX 700 Mission Critical Handheld

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Motorola is marketing their new LEX 700 Mission Critical Handheld. Imagine that all of the things that military now take for granted such as dynamic mapping, GPS, Blue Force Tracking, and streaming video were all available to Law Enforcement, First Responders and Fire services? That’s what the LEX 700 and its associated infrastructure offers and all in a smartphone package. When connected to Public Safety LTE broadband, all of a municipality’s services can be coordinated. Communication is via voice services over LTE, cellular and IP networks or a dedicated Push-to-Talk button. Additionally, the LEX 700 can be used to as a controller to remotely change volume and channels on an APX® 7000 radio.

Personnel can use the LEX 700 to coordinate via white board, see each other’s locations relative to a scene and share imagery and other useful intelligence across the network.
