Mutualink Overview
• Mutualink is a communication resource sharing platform that
can serve as a foundation for the implementation of the
National Response Framework (NRF)
• The NRF describes an all hazards, all disciplines response
environment where all critical assets within and among
communities utilize and share communication, and other
resources to put forward the most efficient possible response
• Mutualink effectively enables this crucial national initiative

National Priorities
•
All hazards, all disciplines framework for all
communities, at all levels of government and critical
infrastructure
• Uniform structure for emergency cooperation and
communication for governmental and private sector
• Requires a coordinated and seamless emergency
preparedness and response capability
• Builds on the National Incident Management System
(NIMS) with its flexible, scalable and adaptable
coordinating structures
• Chief local officials are assigned responsibility for
ensuring implementation of the NRF emergency
readiness and response requirements within their
communities

Interoperable Communication &
Resource Sharing
• Mutualink is an IP-based multimedia communication resource
sharing platform that allows public safety agencies and critical
community assets to communicate in a manner that is separate and
apart from the general public
• Voice: LMR radios, VoIP “push-to-talk”, telephone, cellular & Nextel
• Video: live feeds from buildings, streets, cruisers, copters
• Text Messaging: more effective than voice for informational content
• File Sharing: blue prints, floor plans, photos, procedures
• PA System Interface: Broadcast Emergency Messages
• Dispatch Collaboration: off-the-air conferencing between dispatch
centers
Proprietary to Chilcott Incorporated
• Political barriers to interoperability are eliminated because of a
unique patented invitation based technology
• Each participant, and only that participant, has complete control
over who is able to utilize their communication resources
• There are no centralized switches or servers, it is a peer based
network
• Participants can join or exit incidents at will
Proprietary to Chilcott Incorporated
• Incident management and control designed for anyone from
experienced emergency managers to administrative personnel
• Easy to use Graphical User Interface
• Easy to learn
• Designed for everyday use
• Simple to Install and Configure

Interoperability Workstation (IWS)
•
•
•
•
The IWS is a standard x86 PC platform running
Security Enhanced (SE) Linux
The IWS is a multimedia communications
endpoint, allowing the user to send/receive PTT
voice, video, text messages, and
data files
An IWS also acts as an interop control
point to direct various NICs when to join/leave
incidents
Portable IWSs can be moved to any location
with network access, providing users with
remote interop or backup dispatch capabilities

Radio NIC (R-NIC)
• The R-NIC acts as a gateway to any
conventional or trunked LMR system
• Ruggedized solid-state device; stand-alone
or rack-mountable
•
Various interface modes:
Two Optional Hardware Configurations
Network Interface Controllers
for Radio (R-NIC) 610 Series
Option 1
– Analog: Rx/Tx analog audio, Tx PTT, Rx
COR/VOX
– Digital: Rx/Tx analog audio, serial control
interface
– 2 channel remote control capability
– Direct Current – 2 or 4 wire interface
Option 2
– EIA Tone Remote – 2 or 4 wire interface
Proprietary to Chilcott Incorporated
Video NIC (V-NIC)
• The V-NIC acts as a gateway to any video source,
video sink, or video distribution system (VDS)
• A V-NIC may be configured as either:
– An input device (sink): Looks like a
monitor to a VDS; Received video feed is sent to any
IWSs or output V-NICs in an incident
– An output device (source): Looks like a camera to a
VDS;
Transmitted video feed is taken from any input V-NIC
in an incident
Video Network Interface Controller
V-NIC 240 Series
• Output video format is highly configurable to
achieve the best balance of quality and bandwidth
utilization
• Supports composite or S-video connections
Proprietary to Chilcott Incorporated
Telephony NIC (T-NIC)
Telephony Network Interface Controller
T-NIC 260 Series
•
•
The T-NIC acts as a gateway to a telephony network
Interfaces available:
– Native VoIP: uses standard SIP and RTP to communicate
with external VoIP PBXs, PSTN gateways, etc
– POTS: either station or trunk interfaces
– T1, PRI: in development
•
•
Outcall capability: An authorized IWS user may call out to
any telephony user and add them to an incident
Incall capability: A user may call into the system and
be added to an incident
Proprietary to Chilcott Incorporated
Intercom/Public Address
NIC (I-NIC)
Intercom/Public Address Network Interface Controller
I-NIC 260 Series
•
•
•
The I-NIC acts as a gateway to any Intercom or Public Address
system
Similar in function to an R-NIC with specialized interface
circuitry
Usage scenario: A Public Safety dispatch center, mobile or
portable 2-way radio or telephone can immediately broadcast
urgent bulletins to all schools, malls, over the public address
system .

Security
• Control communications between all Mutualink endpoints are
encrypted and mutually authenticated using standards-based
public-key cryptography
• All media communications (voice, video, files, messages) are
encrypted using the highly-secure AES cipher, thereby preventing
unauthorized access to any incident traffic
• Secure IPSEC tunnels may be used to place Mutualink endpoints
behind existing firewalls
• Mutualink endpoints may be segregated from existing LANs by
using any combination of:
– Separate physical LANs or virtual LANs (VLANs)
– IPSEC/GRE tunnels between various locations
