"Cable&Wireless has signed a three year framework agreement with the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) to offer an integrated, managed, mobile information solution for use by police forces across the UK, to equip officers with instant information when out on patrol. Under the agreement, Cable&Wireless will offer police forces an off-the-shelf managed solution, which includes software and hardware. The solution works by interfacing with force systems and applications, giving police officers access to vital information while they are out on the beat. The solution runs on handheld computers and works as a functional mobile computer unit."
