This is a truck pc install destined for a fleet of 2007 and 2008 Ford F-350 diesel dually crew cab trucks to be used for disaster response vehicles as well as daily drivers for our team of Regional IT Security/Disaster Response consultants. We are a state government entity so do not qualify as commercial in many respects, just depends on the language in various EULA's but as I am not a designated PIO i cannot reveal which agency I am referrirng to. However I will maintain a worklog here minus any logos or other identifying information for our organization.

We bought enough for 10 buildouts (fleet of 9 trucks + a box truck we use for cargo) and I am still waiting on the rest of the parts to come rolling in. I will take interior pictures as I start the project which will likely be in a couple weeks but am interested in peoples feedback in the meantime as to anything I may have overlooked and might address before my project start date. We will also be adding USB attached verizon air cards and satellite BGAN terminals (492 kbps up/down) that should function while in transit when cellular towers are down.
Major objectives of the project are as follows:
Radio over IP (we have the infrastructure in place now using CriticalRF)
Voice over IP (we have the infrastructure in place now using Asterisk)
Handsfree is very important and background noise elimination is a requirement as these are F-350 duallies.
Video conferencing
Physical Security (cameras and alarm)
integration with mobile media kits
integration with Polycom hardware
GPS
Traffic data ( this is a piece I'm having a problem with as Clear Channel doesnt seem to want to support the TMC adaptor I wanted to use, only OEM solutions like Garmin. We do have Blackberry Storms with Vz Navigator so if I could get traffic updates from them and just tether that would be sufficient)
Weather updates using XM weather
HD and XM radio
OBDII diagnostics for on the road real time updates of vcehicle conditions
HQ tracking in real time for vehicle data. May need an addon software package to tie into GPS data.
Media playback for mp3, mp4, etc and tie in to our MythTV server
In truck radio interface to control and monitor equipment from touch screen
(Optional)
HVAC controls
Feel free to comment on this thread. I am sure I've forgotten something as I drafted the project plan months ago and am only now revisiting since the items are just now rolling in.
