Harris County - Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Case Study: Mobile Device Management
This case study describes how DHS S&T employed mobile device management (MDM) for the smartphones that were provided to support Long Term Evolution (LTE) data communications during the NGFR – Harris County Operational Experimentation (OpEx).
-
Harris County - Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Case Study: Patient Monitoring
This case study describes how DHS S&T integrated and deployed physiological sensors for patient triage during the NGFR – Harris County Operational Experimentation (OpEx), taking real-time sensor data and displaying it on unified situational awareness applications to give the Incident Commander, command staff and first responders the right information at the right time. It provides an overview of the systems used, the challenges encountered and the solution implemented for the OpEx, as well as considerations that any public safety agency should think through if they intend to implement patient monitoring for their organization.

Harris County - Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Case Study: Sensor and Event Alerts
This case study describes how DHS S&T identified and applied sensor and event alerting standards during the NGFR – Harris County Operational Experimentation (OpEx), taking real-time data from numerous sensors, assessing it against pre-established thresholds, displaying it on unified situational awareness applications, and issuing alerts when the sensor readings exceeded the thresholds.
