VisionTEK Announces the Release of the UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Wants and Warrants Solution

VisionTEK’s UNITY Mobile Data is taking Wants and Warrants query functions to the streets, to the bike paths, to the footpaths, to wherever law enforcement uses handheld devices to protect and serve the public

Superior, CO—VisionTEK announced today the release of the UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Suite, a collection of mobile data applications developed to meet the rigorous requirements of officers who need secure, wireless access to local, regional, state, and federal databases while patrolling on foot, horseback, bicycle, Segway, or other modes of transportation where officers benefit from powerful, lightweight equipment.

The UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Suite allows agencies to extend officer presence in the field because it provides the robust Wants and Warrants functionally provided by in-car mobile data applications while giving them the freedom and power to access that functionality anywhere a handheld device can be used. Officers walking the street can perform vehicle license and driver license queries with a compact and portable handheld device. They can query law enforcement databases when working sporting events, concerts, while on location at calls for service. Anywhere they can go- the handheld device can go.

Built on Experience with a Vision for the Future
VisionTEK, the developer of the UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Suite, is a leader of public safety solution innovation, with installations at some of the most forward thinking first responder agencies in the country. For years, their solutions have accommodated the ever changing landscape of local, regional, state, and federal law enforcement requirements. Their solutions meet Department of Justice requirements and those of other law enforcement entities, all while providing officers in the field a simple, intuitive interface to perform their mobile data related tasks. The UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Suite builds on VisionTEK’s tradition of excellence and innovation by being DOJ compliant, Java Micro Edition (JME) compliant, and customizable. It supports 2D barcode scanners and card swipers. In short, it is ready for service in the field. It also provides an easy means to accessing shared data among agencies on the UNITY Data Sharing Network.

UNITY Data Sharing – Local Data, Global Data
When using the UNITY Mobile Data Handheld Suite, agencies are able to leverage the UNITY Data infrastructure to query another agency’s Records Management System (RMS) records. With permission from each participating agency, VisionTEK engineering needs to perform only a few configurations to create and publish queries that allow each agency to run queries against another agency’s RMS database records.
