In December 2000, the City of Oakland installed laptop computers in more than 200 patrol cars, so officers could depend less upon dispatchers by electronically inquiring and directly receiving information about suspicious people or vehicles. After installing the new hardware, the department implemented an IP-based network, and later an 802.11b wireless LAN to offer wireless coverage in many areas throughout the city. The Oakland Police Department needed a single solution that would send up-to-date information wirelessly through the network to patrol car laptops. For this, the department turned to Sybase's iAnywhere subsidiary, and implemented a mobile crime-fighting solution that enables officers to automatically get what they need.
