As a result, these solutions require meticulous planning to integrate effectively with other public safety applications and databases. This article sheds light on the intricacies of MobileID infrastructure. It also explores some of the device technology, selection criteria, and design factors agencies must navigate to ensure the effective upgrade and/or deployment of this ever-evolving technology.
