North Carolina Department of Transportation Selects Activu for New, World-Class, Multi-Agency Joint Forces Headquarters











Activu


Rockaway, NJ (PRWEB) March 15, 2012

Activu® Corporation, a leading provider of IP-based visualization and collaboration solutions for mission-critical command and control center environments, is pleased to announce that it has designed, built, installed and commissioned a turnkey large-scale visualization system at the Statewide Transportation Operations Center in the State of North Carolina’s Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ) building in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Joint Forces Headquarters brings together staff from North Carolina’s departments of Transportation, Highway Patrol, National Guard and Emergency Management under one roof for coordinated routine and emergency operations. Specifically, at the facility’s new Statewide Transportation Operations Center (STOC), the North Carolina Department of Transportation is co-located with the Turnpike Authority and NC DOT’s Incident Management Assistance Patrol. The new 236,000 square feet building features state-of-the-art technology, equipment and network infrastructure, and facilities such as a 400-seat auditorium, a dedicated media briefing room, a large situation room and multiple breakout and conference rooms.

Activu’s secure, Internet Protocol (IP) and open standards based visualization and collaboration solution is as an integral part of the state’s Triangle Expressway Intelligent Transportation (ITS) system and allows the NCDOT to easily share information from 400 closed circuit television cameras, over 600 vehicle detectors and 5 roadway weather information systems with other agencies at the JFHQ and beyond. This sharing, where all stakeholders see exactly the same information, improves situational awareness, helps develop a common operating picture and significantly improves the quality and speed of decision-making which, in turn, helps the DOT fulfill its mission of safely and efficiently moving people, goods and services. Activu’s software accommodates NCDOT’s legacy analog infrastructure, bridges it with newer network and mobile technologies, and offers operators a single point of control.

“Activu is delighted to be a part of this initiative. We strongly believe that North Carolina’s state-of-the-art integrated Joint Forces operations center is the wave of the future because it underscores the profound importance of inter-agency cooperation for effective monitoring and emergency response. We also believe that the opportunity and scale of inter-agency cooperation at this center will help us improve and expand our own product capabilities.” said Paul Noble, Activu CEO.

Communities Come Together at Scientology Headquarters at Saint Hill

Communities Come Together at Scientology Headquarters at Saint Hill










(PRWEB) August 11, 2004

People of many different religions and backgrounds from around the UK and Europe congregated at Saint Hill to attend a conference entitled, “Creating Respect and Understanding in a Multi-Cultural Society,”in honor of L. Ron Hubbard’s contributions to solving the problems of society.

The conference was sponsored by the Council for Human Rights and Religious Freedom, Punjabi Women’s Social and Cultural Society UK, the institute on Religion and Public Policy, Sachkhand Nanak Dham International, World Council of Jain Academies, Association for British Muslims, the L. Ron Hubbard Foundation and the Church of Scientology. There were religious representatives from Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, and Scientology.

East Grinstead’s Mayor, Cllr Christine Mainstone, opened the conference which took place in Saint Hill Manor’s famous “Monkey Room,” focused on bringing different religions and community groups together to work out practical ways to tackle common social problems.

The end result was an overwhelming agreement to build on the positive actions that were already ongoing and to develop these to a higher level. “Setting a good example”, both at individual and group level, was emphasised as an important way to go forward. Daoud Rosser-Owen, President of the Association of British Muslims, who attended both the conference and is involved in the “Religions Working Together”initiative said, “I was very pleased with the positive response from the attendees. Working together on very simple matters, such as improving conditions in the community….I am happy to work with the Church of Scientology on these matters and appreciate that they have taken the time to put this, and other, initiatives together.”

During the event, the latest in a series of informational brochures was released. This brochure summarises the work of humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, who lived at Saint Hill Manor between 1959 and 1967. The brochure is entitled, “Shaping the 21st Century with solutions for a better world.”

Dr. Iftikhar Ayaz, OBE, Honorary Consul for Tuvalu and the representative of the Pacific Islands in a United Nations Peace Forum, commented, “the best outcome was that all the religions and non-religious organisations agreed to form a collective organisation in order to pursue the ideas for creating interfaith and intercultural and inter-ethnic harmony in the British society…”
