Abstract

Systems and methods relating to secure communications for use with monitored facilities. A segregated private network is provided where the network only allows properly credentialed users to use the network. Only traffic destined for addresses internal to the private network are allowed within the network. Access nodes control access to the private network while other types of traffic for the network, including radio and text messaging traffic may also use the private network for a secure communications link between source and destination nodes. Preferably, the communication links are end to end encrypted. As well, preferably, video and data streams from monitored facilities are transmitted to central monitoring offices using the private network.
