Mobile Data Terminals

My bad guys we actually use panasonic toughbooks (not toshiba as I previously mentioned). Plus I had a look and we use Mentor Engineering inc. MDT/MDC. The one on this page: http://www.mentoreng.com/products/mdc/mdc.html

We are installing MDT's in each truck which when complete, will have the data that we take as EMD's during the call and will be able to be dropped into their screens, any key information such as for private alarms "the key is in the letter box under the front step" etc and any changes such as a collapse to then upgrade to a cardiac arrest etc. I will try find out the models of the unit.

with PCR's, it is still handwritten at the moment, but I think, and have chatted to some medics, that the computer models will be coming, its just down to that almighty dollar when the crews are still fighting for double crewing so that wil have to take a back seat at the time being.

The MDT's in the units will also have an equivalent to NAVMAN built into them with routes available to travel. Here's hoping they are more reliable than the NAVMAN's themselves. Personally I use a TOMTOM unit, but see what happens.

I start in Comms in one month so will update as I learn more about the CAD programs and the MDT's.
