NEC Australia has released its second-generation Mobile Access Controller (MAC), a mobile workforce communications platform that provides highly reliable voice and data coverage for emergency services and field workers. This product is suitable for industry, government, public safety and logistics organisations.

Utilising multiple networks such as 3G, 4G LTE, UHF/VHF radio, satellite, P25 and Wi-Fi, the MAC will intelligently route voice and data to the best available network at the lowest cost, based on defined business rules.

The MAC provides safety features to support OHS initiatives, in particular for remote field workers, including: automatic vehicle location (AVL) and personal navigation via GPS, and duress and emergency alerting, both in-vehicle and up to 3.5 km away from the vehicle, via a handheld radio. In addition to this safety component, the product is designed to improve employee productivity and business efficiency, and reduce operational costs.

The Management Centre application (MAC-MC) also provides central control, configuration and reporting for all the units deployed in a fleet of vehicles. It offers a suite of operational functionality as well as system administration capability in the one integrated package.
