Cassidian Communications (formerly PlantCML), The leading provider of mission critical communications and response technology for public safety business continuity and homeland defense

Today’s emergency operations centers (EOCs) face ever-increasing challenges. Incidents of all types must be responded to rapidly and efficiently. Delays, or even worse, errors can put a life at risk. Simultaneously, budgets are tight and the overflow of complicated technology can overwhelm the user with data in place of useful information. The ORION™ ARIES® computer-aided dispatch (CAD) solution offers a cost-effective system to combat such challenges.

Through an intuitive user interface, this map-centric application delivers incident data directly to the desktop. Call takers can track every resource, view premise history and access supplemental information. Information is provided on demand, operator performance is instantly enhanced and response capabilities are dramatically improved.

The ORION ARIES solution offers such standard features as duplicate call detection, multiple incident display and browser-based reporting. Its modern, multi-tier architecture accommodates integration with third-party software, including ESRI-based shape files. The ORION ARIES solution is fully integrated and certified with Priority Dispatch Corporation’s ProQA for police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS).

The ORION ARIES solution can be deployed with existing Cassidian Communications VESTA® and Sentinel® systems, further reducing support costs and eliminating the need for additional equipment.
