ORION Vela

ORION Vela.  Advanced NG9-1-1 mapping application for streamlined call processing

Mission-critical call takers must field calls, determine the location of wireline and wireless callers and dispatch the appropriate first responders immediately within a high-pressure environment. The ORION™ Vela® mapping solution offers a comprehensive feature set combining superior mapping functionality and sophisticated administrative control with an intuitive, information rich graphical user interface (GUI). With its scalable design, the ORION Vela solution allows for enhanced customization of its display functionality and integrates seamlessly with the Cassidian Communications, an EADS North America company’s VESTA® and Sentinel® call-taking platforms, and supports computer-aided dispatch (CAD). It can also act as a standalone mapped automatic location identification (ALI) system allowing it to be used on its own or integrated with additional applications.

The Vela in Action The ORION Vela solution provides multiple configurable map views, access rights based on user login, and many improved user controls for map navigation. It also provides for on-the-fly measurement unit conversion (distance and area) and includes built-in support of ESRI-compliant Shapefiles and Personal Geodatabases, which allows customers to utilize their existing ESRI tools to build and maintain map data sets.
