provides public safety organizations their Command and Control Open
Communications solution with features including radio caller ID and
emergency alerts, as well as better control of vital information
and improved situational awareness. All information is channeled to
a single central point, where it can be recorded, evaluated and

It also leverages the power of fixed mobile convergence - bringing
IT, wired and wireless voice and data together over an IP network -
facilitating enhanced continuity of operations, improved
information gathering and processing, and optimized real-time
decision-making. Serving some of the largest most complex agencies
in the world, Tiburon is one of the country's leading providers of
integrated public safety and justice solutions. Tiburon's suite of
products includes computer aided dispatch, records management,
court and probation software systems for law enforcement, fire and
rescue, corrections and justice agencies. With a reliable,
distributed peer-to-peer architecture, Tiburon's Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) system supports dispatching and incident control for
law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. By combining
Siemens Command and Control Communications solution with Tiburon's
CAD system, customers are better able to get the right information
to the right people, and the right people to the incident -
wherever they are - more quickly and reliably for more effective
incident management. "With Siemens' focus on emergency
communications and Tiburon's focus on rapid dispatch of relevant
resources, combining efforts gives public safety and first response
organizations the best of both worlds," said Dana Rasmussen,
President of Siemens Enterprise Communications in North America.
