NTL TO PROVIDE NEW CONTROL ROOM SYSTEM FOR MET POLICE
o NTL selected for (pound)25m integrated communications system for London police
o Project management, installation, commissioning and ongoing 24/7 support
o 540+ control positions with access to Airwave, analogue radio, telephony and
CCTV
NTL's Public Safety group has been selected by the Metropolitan Police Authority
to supply, install and maintain an Integrated Communications Platform (ICP).
This will service 31 police control rooms across Greater London for the
Metropolitan Police Service and the City of London Police. The seven-year
contract will be worth around (pound)25 million.
The ICP is a complete system to give 540+ control room positions integrated
access to the new Airwave digital mobile radio service, existing analogue radio
schemes, telephony, 3,500 closed-circuit TV cameras and other special
communications systems via a touch-screen graphical user interface. There will
be three main equipment hub locations with specialist software and hardware,
situated at the new C3i centres at Hendon, Lambeth and Bow.
A resilient and scaleable voice-over-IP (VoIP) network will provide connectivity
within and between the centres, while main operator control will be via an
Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS).
Under the terms of the forthcoming contract NTL will provide project management,
installation and commissioning, plus ongoing maintenance once the system is
operational. 24/7 support will be co-ordinated from NTL's Nine Elms support
centre on London's South Bank. The formal terms of the contract are in the
process of being finalised.
Steve Worthington, director of NTL's public safety group, said: "This is an
important mission-critical project for the Metropolitan Police and it's one that
we feel we're well qualified to deliver. The ICP will be amongst the largest
police control-room systems in the world and as an independent system integrator
we ensure that all the various sub-systems are optimised and work well together.
We're delighted to have been chosen for this extremely important task."
Paul Glaister, Telecommunications Programme Director, Metropolitan Police
Service said: "NTL was awarded the contract for the ICP after a full OJEC
competition. The ICP will provide the Met with a truly state-of-the-art
integrated control room system bringing together many different communications
systems including Airwave and CCTV selection as well as other conventional fixed
/ mobile communications and telephony within a single desktop terminal in an
efficient and user-friendly way."
