IP Mobile Network

Sharing information among public safety first responders is a critical link in protecting the citizens of the Commonwealth.

In 2006 the Kentucky State Police (KSP) in cooperation with KEWS implemented the IP Mobile Net data radio system which gives state and local law enforcement wireless computing capability.

The project consisted of the installation of approximately 165 base stations throughout the state in an attempt to supply continuous wireless coverage in all regions. All of the base station sites are connected to one of three Internet Protocol Network Controllers (IPNC) to transfer the wireless traffic between the law enforcements mobile units and the LINK/NCIC network.  In order to utilize the wireless data network, an officer requires a computer device which is loaded with mobile data software. The mobile software supplies a user-interface which can perform LINK/NCIC checks as well as data messaging between users.
