The goal of the project was to develop a production version of the First Responder Workstation application. The application was initially implemented by PSA Inc. as a demo application to create and manage incidents for an agency such as fire departments, police, hospitals or government bodies in response to real world events, including life threatening situations. The application is designed to create networks of interoperable communications, providing text, audio, video, data and telephone connectivity in a secure environment.
The functionality for the mobile application was derived from the features of an existing desktop application. One of the main objectives for the project was to improve usability, quality of voice with using new codec and adding new features such as life video, managing groups of workstations, and adding application security mechanisms.
The tools and technologies used in the process:
- Android SDK & NDK

- XML
- Eclipse IDE
- SVN
- PassMark, TestLog
- SeaPine TestTrack Pro
