Nortel Government Solutions will operate and maintain the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) digital courtroom systems in Rockville, Maryland and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Under an agreement estimated at US $7.7 million, Nortel (News - Alert) Government Solutions will provide these services over four years. Nortel will also support NRC hearings, application development and testing.

Nortel Government Solutions reportedly developed and delivered the system to the NRC in early 2006. The company provides electronic evidence presentation, digital audio and video transcripts, and electronic capture and display of evidence.

The system enables immediate electronic access to documents, and live video and audio feeds to provide a wide public access to NRC proceedings.

NRC’s Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel can use the digital courtroom systems to simplify proceedings ranging from routine cases to complicated hearings involving nuclear reactor licenses.

“These showcase systems integrate everything into one multimedia system with real-time access to information for all participants,” said Chuck Saffell, chief executive officer, Nortel Government Solutions in a press release.

He continued: “Our operations and maintenance services will help the NRC to achieve and sustain the highest performance, efficiency, security and reliability from its electronic courtrooms.”

Nortel was recently in news for being chosen by Edith Cowan University in Perth and The New York Times Company.

Nortel will supply a next-generation data network to Edith Cowan University in Perth to support its academic program over the next five years.

Nortel’s integrated communications solution will be used by The New York Times Company for its new headquarters that will begin operations in the spring of 2007.
