Unisys Mobile CommHub

• Genesis of the Solution
• Developed by Unisys to meet the requirements of a
  high profile client (PANYNJ)
• Provide a communications platform with high
  degree of flexibility and network redundancy
• Capable of extending Emergency Operations Center
  (EOC) intranet to emergency scene
• To be deployed with first responders in hostile
  environments
• When intra- and inter-site communications is
  imperative
• even when terrestrial communications
  infrastructure has been compromised

Unisys and The Port Authority of New York New
Jersey

• The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is
  relying on Unisys Corporation's CommHub to help
  its response teams coordinate activities in real
  and potential emergencies.
• Unisys CommHub enables the Port Authority's first
  response teams to stay connected with emergency
  operations centers and each other during
  incidents at airports, bridges, tunnels, bus
  terminals, seaports and other facilities it
  manages within a 25-mile radius of the Statue of
  Liberty - the nation's largest metropolitan area.
