EMS Global Resource Management Introduces OCC-600 Operations Control Console for Search and Rescue Solutions

EMS Global Resource Management, a division of mobile connectivity leader EMS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELMG), today introduced the OCC-600 console – the latest operations control console (OCC) for Search and Rescue (SAR) solutions. The system, which processes distress beacon information from emergency incidents and distributes the relevant data to Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC), is a key component of Mission Control Centers (MCC) managed by SAR operators around the world.

Built on a new distributed Windows®-based architecture that allows multiple operators, the OCC-600 Operation Control Console from EMS Global Tracking is easy to use and builds upon all the existing capabilities of the previous generation of consoles (OCC-200). In addition to increased flexibility and ease of deployment, the new system offers a number of innovative features for SAR operators, including automated backup and archiving of operational data, role-based access control and the ability to incorporate customer map data for display on integrated maps.

“The OCC-600 system has been evaluated in real-world tests by our partners over the past several months, and the results are very positive,” said Dino Koutouki, Vice President and General Manager, EMS Global Resource Management.

“The new capabilities of the OCC-600 system will help Search and Rescue operators perform their life-saving duties more efficiently, and with decades of experience with Search and Rescue operations applications, EMS Global Resource Management offers best-in-class reliability and dependability,” added Rick L’Ecuyer, Senior Global Sales Director, Search and Rescue Products, EMS Global Resource Management.
