PC2 permits rapid connection to the accredited network as soon as personnel arrive at the scene. PC2 is a capable service designed to provide rich connectivity in a portable package, whilst being fully compliant with the Government’s strict security regime. PC2 provides secure information management in critical situations which will enhance operational effectiveness.
As part of the scalable deployable service, PC2 can increase in capacity and capability to support the changing numbers and roles. A smart function of PC2 is it gets over traditional performance challenges especially when sharing large amounts of data hungry files, such as video and images and allows all deployed personnel to collaborate locally without the need to reach back to HQ support services. This local domain will enable localised Microsoft Exchange, shared working area, file and print capability and allow information exchange, meaning that users can work and collaborate with each other even when off net. The versatility of PC2 allows for LAN speed collaboration onsite and for global collaboration when connection to a WAN is available.

The solution is secure, scalable, agile, portable, small scale, semi-autonomous, providing a mobile service delivery platform with local domain allowing access to the Government Networks Central services by means of any Bearer of Opportunity by providing link encryption and all relevant gateway security. At the heart of this capability is Prolinx Assured Cloud Services (PACS) engine and PC2 comes in a number of models from briefcase size units for 2 – 4 users up to semi-permanent solutions capable of supporting thousands of users.
When required PC2 can securely connect the service to any domestic broadband service, a mobile 3/4G service or a variety of Government provisioned connectivity services such as the MoD network and PSN. When connected, the PC2 operates at the ‘Official Sensitive’ level and achieves more global collaboration functionality across the Government connectivity.
