  14. Future Plans • Integration with Milsoft’s DisSpatch OMS utilizing the SQL server database. • Allow for display and assignment of trucks moving across the connectivity maps where our outages also display. • Minimize the need for additional applications to accomplish one task.

  15. Issues Encountered • Reliability • Mic laying in seat… • Antenna Connection poor • Dead batteries in trucks • “Are you spying on me?” attitudes
