Mutualink Unveils Tactical Go-Kit Designed for Seamless Interagency Communication Between Federal and Local Public Safety Agencies
Wallingford, CT – September 20, 2024 – Mutualink, Inc. is excited to announce the Tactical Go-Kit, a cutting-edge tool designed to improve communication between local, state and federal agencies. This portable kit ensures rapid, seamless interoperability across multiple communication systems, crucial in dynamic operations that involve multiple agencies. In addition to connecting radio systems, the Go-Kit enables push to talk voice, video, and image sharing. These modern capabilities have become essential for improving the effectiveness of critical operations.
Communication breakdowns have historically impeded multi-agency coordination during events like the July 13th political rally in Butler, PA, where local police radioed about a man with a gun, but federal agencies had no access to the radio traffic. Similar findings were reported by the Department of Justice after investigating the tragic Uvalde Elementary School mass shooting where 24 local, state and federal agencies could not communicate with each other. Mutualink’s Tactical Go-Kit bridges these communication gaps, enhancing operational efficiency and coordination.
“We see time and time again, dire consequences of these communication breakdowns, which delay and hinder emergency response,” Mutualink’s Chief Strategy Officer and 15-year law enforcement veteran, Chrissie Coffey says. “Our Go-Kit equips agencies with the right tool to quickly stand-up communication bridges in situations where seconds can save lives.”
The Tactical Go-Kit is designed with these key features:
- Seamless Integration: The Go-Kit is compatible with existing systems ensuring that established communications are augmented, not disrupted, which is the most cost-effective solution for agencies.
- Rapid Deployment: Designed with simplicity in mind, the Go-Kit can be set up in minutes, providing instant connectivity across multiple agencies.
- Operational Reliability: Built with rugged hardware, robust software, and redundant fail-over capabilities, the Go-Kit is optimized for diverse conditions – from urban settings to remote locations.
- Security You Can Trust: Featuring state-of-the-art encryption and security protocols, the Go-Kit ensures that all communications remain secure.
For nearly two decades, Mutualink has served the public safety mission, building a nationwide ecosystem of public safety partners who protect our nation’s most critical assets: schools, casinos, arenas, houses of worship, and hospitals.
“The value of bridging direct communication with first responders cannot be understated,” Mike Favorit, Valencia College Security Director and former Captain, Orlando Police Department, “Hearing firsthand what is happening in an emergency saves precious time in response.”
For local, state and federal agencies seeking to overcome these challenges, the Tactical Go-Kit is an essential tool for improving outcomes during both planned operations and emergency response.
