A multinational, multimedium communications system build. Tailored to work for specific professional applications over independent networks, LinguaNet employs user-specified message templates and other linguistic controls, graphics and sounds to achieve fast and accurate messaging and information provision across language and administrative barriers. LinguaNet has grown from fifteen years of successful research and design of operational language and protocols for sea, air, police, business and Channel Tunnel emergency service operations. It has applications therefore in many networks in both the private and public sectors. The application and design context outlined in this brochure is the police and emergency services of Europe. Fifteen forces in five countries are presently working with the developers to enhance and extend the purpose-built LinguaNet prototype which now links them. | ||
