Information - a system MoSMoS (Moscow System for Mobile Communications)

            CDOS 4.01

Beginning of the second quarter of 1997 marked an important 
event - finally ended in state testing system MoSMoS (Moscow 
System for Mobile Communications), designed to raise to a 
qualitatively new level of information support in the first 
operational services of the city - "01", "02", "03", "911" and 
etc. If it were not for the strong support of the general 
sponsor - bank "Imperial" - refinement of the system would last 
for an indefinite period. 

   MoSMoS system involves the installation of each police 
patrol car in each "carriage," "ER," one words, for every 
mobile workplace employees of operational services of a special 
radio-equipped computer terminals, linked by radio with the 
central control and unified data bank. It is interesting that 
the basis for the microprocessor of the "heart" of the terminal 
taken computer "Spectrum" (with minor modifications, aimed 
primarily at increase reliability). The price of such 
microprocessor unit is obtained by two orders of magnitude 
lower than that of a similar device on based on an 
IBM-compatible "notebook" that is so compulsively pushed 
through commercialized some officials departments. 
Nevertheless, the functionality of "baby" is quite sufficient - 
it can even take radiofax. Obviously, that the photograph of 
the wanted criminals can now be sent to all militia outfits 
almost instantly. Permanent link to central bank data, which is 
served supercomputer system "Elbrus", provides a real sea of 
​​services, from laying the shortest route to your destination 
(it is useful to note that the central computer continuously 
monitors the traffic situation around the town) to "lift" from 
the archives and immediate processing of criminal cases or case 
histories, and for the period of the last 50 years! Again, 
returning to the subject price, it should be stressed that the 
price of on-board computer is only 20 percent of the price of 
the car station through which communication is supported.

It is easy to understand that radio for interference to a
much lower quality compared to the coupling of telephone wires. 
But even in such circumstances, communication protocol / 
receiving digital data, known as "CDOS-modem protocol, showed 
itself at its best side, leaving behind let more speed, but it 
does not fit in the big city standards of major Western 
companies. For us, members of Spectrum Networks, commissioning 
of the system MoSMoS opens new, more exciting opportunities. 
Normal home Spectrum can now become the center of the complex 
system of security and maintain order in the apartment. In case 
of fire or intrusion Computer attacker himself (and almost 
instantaneously) contact with the desired service give address 
of the apartment, and a package of telemetry data collected 
from sensors installed that are recommended for each user - you 
will not regret! But a fire or a robbery - Still an exceptional 
phenomenon, but that now every the user can apply by phone, 
click on the inclusion of automatic feeding of aquarium fish, 
or click on a VCR to record favorite program while at the same 
time across town or in the car - is more interesting. Changing 
the system and modem connection on the phone. Note on the new 
menu items new CDOS - you'll see "call fire", "Call an 
ambulance, and even ... "Call an ambulance to the sysop. "And 
this is why?" - You ask. And imagine that you have chosen in 
the menu item "call sysop on voice communication," and he does 
not answer! Perhaps something has happened! Here on this case 
and stores this fad! You probably already guessed that the 
digital dialogue with a computer control room is fully 
automatic - no need to call or address, telephone or driving 
directions; computer all together myself. New set_up new 
Communication software contains many additional information, 
which should be taken carefully. After all, if all as you have 
something happen, but you will be able to get to the keyboard 
and apply "alarm", you will not have to enter into conversation 
with the dispatcher - you can easily jump out the window of a 
burning house, or you can just quietly lose consciousness 
during a heart attack; 5-10 minutes you will already be 
qualified save.

Spectrum BBS sysops can now receive comprehensive
information about the last communication session - the new CDOS 
replace the usual "History" is shipped World History, and for 
this also Thanks to the general sponsor of the project - bank 
"Imperial". For persons deprived of hearing and speech, the new 
system provides Especially valuable opportunity ... But this, 
like many other things, Tell us next time - exactly one year 
later.
