Visteon Demonstrates New Law Enforcement Technology at Annual
Police Chiefs Conference VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 12
/PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) is committed to
advancing law enforcement technology through rapid implementation
of system upgrades and enhancements. In less than two months,
Visteon's systems integration and automotive electronics expertise
will deliver communication enhancements and system upgrades to the
law enforcement community. These capabilities will be demonstrated
at the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual
conference November 13-15 at the Los Angeles Convention Center
(booth 2059) in Los Angeles, CA. (Logo:

upgrades and enhancements include a new application computer,
additional radio control, and interface to law enforcement software
products. The new processor allows law enforcement agencies to run
complex software for digital video systems and increases
information processing speed. This vehicle-hardened computer will
use a state-of-the-art mobile microprocessor with increased
performance over Pentium IV type microprocessor. The technology
will include a 1.7 GHz and 512 MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive. The
new processor can help officers respond more quickly to emergency
situations through the use of improved automatic vehicle location
(AVL) software. Visteon's systems integration capability allows AVL
and other software to work together, helping reduce the time it
takes for an officer to look-up and get directions to addresses and
specific routing information. In addition, cooperation between
Visteon and its alliance partner, Bio- Key, Inc., formerly Aether
systems, resulted in the integration of Packet Cluster(R)
Patrol(TM) software to take advantage of TACNET capabilities,
sending a variety of critical information to TACNET's head up
display and key data to the TACNET screen. TACNET voice commands
are now used to control Packet Cluster software. For example,
TACNET voice recognition technology can now be used to wirelessly
enter license plate numbers into the software package which then
responds with critical information on TACNET's head up display.
This new feature allows officers to get the information they need
while keeping their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
Finally, Visteon's TACNET(TM) system will control Motorola's
primary state-of-the-art law enforcement grade radios using either
analog or digital signals. "Visteon's team of experts continues to
apply vehicle, electronics and systems expertise to apply
state-of-the-art technology to meet the needs of the law
enforcement community," said Greg Gyllstrom, Visteon's vice
president and general manager aftermarket and glass North American
operations. "As technology advances, our integration capability
gives us the opportunity to apply our expertise to help improve
emergency response communications for the good of society." TACNET
is an in-vehicle command and control system designed to improve
public safety, officer safety, officer efficiency and
interoperability while dramatically reducing police car interior
clutter. Alliance partnerships with key law enforcement technology
suppliers allow Visteon to supply an integrated system that works
with the equipment a police agency is already using. These
partnerships also ensure TACNET's compatibility with the in-vehicle
law enforcement equipment of the future. In addition to working
with leading law enforcement suppliers, Visteon collaborated with
several police agencies including California Highway Patrol,
Michigan State Police, Maryland State Police, Oakland County
(Mich.) Sheriff's office and the Ontario Provincial Police -- all
of which provided valuable officer field test feedback. Visteon
Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers
worldwide and through multiple channels within the global
automotive aftermarket. Visteon has about 72,000 employees and a
global delivery system of more than 200 technical, manufacturing,
sales, and service facilities located in 25 countries.
