The system uses  ruggedised panel PC's (model 6650) from a USA company (Intermec) using windows 98SE, which has a GSM option using a Motorola D10 modem (telematics card).  The PC is modified by QinetiQ (KISCOM) to provide communication to a wireless headset (inc mic), by embedding a commercial DECT package in the PC (with heavy modification). A 'push-to-recognise' (PTR) switch for the speech recognition system was also provided as part of this system. The GSM transmissions are received by Mulitech USB modems connected to a DELL server, which is connected by a kilostream link to a DELL workstation PC. The workstation is connected to a Samsung touchscreen LCD monitor and two 'Brother' network printers. The network extension at the A&E dept is a wavelan using Breezecom 'Breezenet' access point and station adaptor.  The panel PC's can be connected to Kodak DC5000 digital cameras and physio-control Likfepak 12 monitor/defibrillator.
