Visteon's TACNET(TM) Becomes Fleet Upgrade for California Highway
Patrol VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon
Corporation (NYSE:VC), a leading, full-service automotive supplier
of integrated in- vehicle technology solutions to automotive
manufacturers worldwide, announces that the California Highway
Patrol has begun implementation of its TACNET(TM) in-vehicle
command and control solution. (Logo:

years, many electronic innovations have become invaluable to the
public safety community. While this additional equipment has been
extremely beneficial, it has also created challenges. With this in
mind, Visteon developed TACNET, a unique product that integrates
virtually all of the in- vehicle peripheral device controllers and
electronics into a single, highly efficient command and control
system that maximizes passenger compartment space and increases
functionality. The California Highway Patrol has been a development
partner with Visteon for over two years, assisting with field
testing and product refinement. The agency deployed 10
TACNET-equipped patrol cars in various areas across the state for
more than a year and provided valuable feedback to the company
while conducting its own feasibility testing. After this stringent
evaluation process, CHP has adopted TACNET as the leading solution
for the patrol vehicle environment. Forty additional
TACNET-equipped patrol vehicles were deployed in September with
more expected in the first quarter of 2005. Future deployments may
provide CHP with TACNET solutions for a variety of vehicles in
their fleet, including motorcycles. In addition to controlling
lights and siren, radar, radio and mobile data, the CHP will be
adding an automated citation system to their vehicles that will
also provide for remote control of the TACNET system. One of next
year's CHP builds will focus on patrol supervisor cars that will be
equipped with multiple radios, all controlled through the TACNET
system providing cross-band repeat and simulcast features, thus
giving the agency a field deployed, interoperability solution.
