Visteon TACNET(TM) - Proven Technology to Serve Boston Police
Department VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ --
Visteon Corporation's (NYSE:VC) TACNET(TM) is under field test
evaluation by the Boston Police Department. The current field test
began just before and continued during the Democratic National
Convention. The system has features specifically designed for the
Boston Police Department, improving inter-agency communication and
safety of law enforcement officers. TACNET is a cost-effective
solution for law enforcement agencies and emergency response teams
looking to improve inter-agency communications, efficiency and
in-vehicle officer safety. This integrated hardware and
electronic-based system was tested by the Boston Police Department
during the Democratic National Convention. (Logo:

improves officer safety by dramatically reducing the number of
devices installed in the police car interior. For example, it
integrates lights, sirens, multiple radios, radar, patrol video,
AM/FM radio functions and mobile data computers. TACNET also gives
officers a choice of command and control options by integrating the
numerous switches and electronic equipment controls into three main
interfaces: voice control, in-dash touch screen and an
ergonomically designed control "pod." This flexibility allows law
enforcement agencies to configure control functions to best meet
their needs. Many law enforcement vehicles require multiple radios,
laptops and other communications equipment for officers to speak to
each other and to firefighters and emergency response teams in
emergencies. Some law enforcement agencies have up to five
individual radio units to meet their day- to-day communications
needs. Boston Police Department collaborated with Visteon to ensure
the systems' open architecture allowed seamless integration of
leading products into the flexible platform and featured
plug-and-play expansion capability. This enables TACNET-outfitted
vehicles to easily incorporate new technology. By integrating the
radio control functions into one interoperable system, TACNET can
improve inter-agency communication and accelerate emergency
responses. TACNET can serve as a cross-band repeater linking up to
five different radios. The repeater capability can be more
efficient than the current practice of managing incoming radio
frequencies one by one. TACNET draws on Visteon's expertise in
digital signal processing to manage the differing frequencies of
radio transmissions. TACNET can receive radio transmissions, mix
the signals, prioritize them, and then play the signals on specific
vehicle speakers to aid with identification. TACNET even offers the
capability to mute other signals when a priority transmission
occurs. 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,
