Three Microsoft partners have worked together to provide a service for the Super Bowl that is like no other I've heard of before. This is big-time stuff and it's the only major sporting event that receives National Security status.

Twisted Pair Solutions provides real-time group communications for two-way radios and other devices tied on Office Communications Server for PC to voice connections. The E•SPONDER solution manages planning, tracking and reporting all security matters surrounding the big game. Infusion Development's Falcon Eye software running on Microsoft Surface and using Virtual Earth integrates with E•SPONDER and Twisted Pair to provide a stunning visualization of incident details. It's more than just panning and zooming on maps, as Microsoft Surface can initiate voice communications directly with the field. It sounds like a command center right out of the movies!

 

Here’s the full Microsoft press release.

    Is there another video of this? It looks like a video of a guy taking a video of all the good stuff. Doesn't show much, but I'm guessing this is for security reasons.

    Hey Harlequin, I haven't been able to obtain better video. I wasn't able to get down to Florida myself for the big game. If I find any, I'll definately post it.
