The BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device introduced in 1999 which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services.

BlackBerry is a line of mobile e-mail devices and services from Research In Motion (RIM). BlackBerry is currently available in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. BlackBerry’s popularity may be attributed to its easy-to-use interface and keyboard. With Google Sync for mobile, your BlackBerry® calendar application stays synchronized with your Google Apps calendar. Most BlackBerry devices come with a full, albeit tiny, QWERTY keyboard, using the “Alt” key to enter numbers and special characters.

GLC Enterprises, Inc (www.SpyGearCo.com) has partnered with Ordia Solutions, Inc to provide a cutting edge tracking device in order to give future command and control and edge in mission-critical, collaborative command and control solutions directly to the hand of homeland security personel, tactical operators, and senior leadership. They now have integrated the BlackBerry phone for display of personel in the field being tracked. This allows commanders to view missions on their BlackBerry’s without having to have a computer with them.

Ordia Solutions has delivered cutting edge Mission-Critical Command & Control Technologies to the BlackBerry.

Mobile Tactical Collaboration System Integrated with AdvanTraq GPS Now Available to BlackBerry Users for Anywhere Anytime Secure Access to Real-Time Situational Awareness

MTCS running on a phone device had its first public demonstration during CEO Joe Ordia’s address to the Major Cities Chiefs Association’s 2008 Winter Meeting in Vancouver on February 5th. Acting as an incident commander in a fictitious home land security all-hazards scenario, Ordia demonstrated, using mobile computers wirelessly connected via air cards, the collaborative command and control, common operating picture, and real-time situational awareness capabilities of MTCS. As he concluded the demonstration, Ordia pulled a BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Smartphone from his jacket pocket that was already logged on the MTCS workspace, and passed it to the Chiefs while he continued to update the scenario and displaying these updates on the mobile computers as well as on the Smartphone.

Supporting the Smartphone platform effectively extends the command & control situational awareness capabilities to the farthest reaches up and down the chain of command, enabling officers, commanders, and chiefs to have access to real-time Command Post information anywhere anytime, said Joe Ordia, Chairman and CEO, Ordia Solutions. MTCS has played a force-multiplier role in several high-profile deployments with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and fire/EMS departments. We have received numerous requests from our customers for this platform and we were thrilled with the positive reception from a number of the Major Cities Chiefs and their senior staff.

Ordia Solutions, the leading provider of mission-critical tactical collaboration systems for public safety leaders, first responders, and tactical operators announced the availability of the RIM BlackBerry as the newest client platform for its next generation collaborative command and control solution Mobile Tactical Collaboration System; (MTCS) and AdvanTraq GPS. This development marks a major milestone in the company’s quest to extend its mission-critical, collaborative command and control solution directly to the hand of first responders, tactical operators, and senior leadership.
