Mutualink, Inc., which has developed an interoperable communications platform that enables community-wide multimedia sharing of radio, voice, text, video, data files and telephone communications in a secure environment, has partnered with LeaseSource,  one of the nation's premier leasing companies, to expand access to interoperable communications platform.

Mutualink’s system is currently deployed by hundreds of public and private entities worldwide, including homeland security, defense installations, NATO Special Operations Forces, police and fire departments, transit authorities, hospitals, shopping malls, casinos, and more.

The pact helps to expand the range of available payment options for public and private entities to benefit from Mutualink’s technology, making it easier than ever to participate in the Interoperable Response and Preparedness Platform (IRAPP) network.

 “The value of the Mutualink platform increases with each additional participant, so we’re continually finding new ways to provide affordable options for widespread use,” said Mark Hatten, CEO, Mutualink, in a statement.

Hatten said that leasing is another cost-effective way for public and private entities to gain access to the company’s technology and the IRAPP network, which results in safer, more secure communities for everyone involved.”

Steve Fix of LeaseSource said that as public safety specialists, the company understands the need for highly-advanced communications systems at reasonable costs, and the company welcomes Mutualink to its program.

“We’re proud to put our flexible lease plans to work for Mutualink, its clients, and business partners,” said Fix.

TMCnet in April reported that Mutualink unveiled a new deployment option for its multimedia communications sharing platform, Mutualink Edge. The cloud-based sharing platform is designed for safety and enterprise emergency preparedness.

To augment the capabilities of public safety technology, Mutualink offers the Edge as a Service (EaaS) solution which will reduce the lead time for deployment, as there is no need to install new equipment on the agency’s premises.

As an interoperable communications platform, Mutualink Edge enables community-wide multimedia sharing of radio, voice, text, video, data files and telephone communications in a secure environment. The systems serves the needs of homeland security and defense installations, police and fire departments, transit authorities, hospitals, malls and other entities.
