Nortel Government Solutions Selected to Operate, Maintain Digital Courtrooms

Nortel Government Solutions has been selected by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to operate and maintain the NRC's digital courtroom systems in Rockville, Maryland and Las Vegas, Nevada. Nortel Government Solutions will provide these services under an agreement estimated at $7.7 million over four years. The agreement also includes support for NRC hearings, as well as application development and testing. They provide electronic evidence presentation, digital audio and video transcripts, and electronic capture and display of evidence. This enables immediate electronic access to documents, and live video and audio feeds to ensure the widest possible public access to NRC proceedings. The digital courtroom systems are designed to help the NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel simplify proceedings ranging from routine cases to more complicated hearings involving nuclear reactor licenses.
