Kenneth Finnegan has been working on computer aided dispatch project:
For these events, we usually have several dispatchers on different frequencies, and then build an entire computer network around them so that they can use a local HTTP-based computer aided dispatch (CAD) system to pass and log information.
The problem is that there are a lot of events in-between a sheet of binder paper and spending a month and a half building a computer network for ~100 computers. That’s where this project tries to solve the problem; a simple and clean box that you can plug into a WiFi router and in half an hour have a workable CAD network set up in a parking lot.
