CPI OpenFox, in partnership with the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (OLETS) and Service Oklahoma (SOK), is happy to announce the successful completion of a groundbreaking project to modernize Oklahoma’s Message Switch, its Red Hat Linux environment, Web Service interface, and DMV driver query system.
The initiative replaced the outdated OpenFox® Message Switch Service Oklahoma RESTful web service interface with the advanced OpenFox Generic Web Services (GWS) product, delivering enhanced security, efficiency, and functionality. This also included an upgrade from RHEL 07 to RHEL 09 and an upgrade to Switch 8.0.1
A Milestone in Public Safety Technology
The project aimed to streamline driver data management and improve interoperability with national standards. CPI worked closely with OLETS and SOK to implement cutting-edge solutions, including installing the OpenFox GWS Interface program, updating message keys, and transforming driver query formats to JSON and XML. These upgrades ensured seamless communication with Nlets NIEM XML standards and improved the system’s ability to handle in-state and out-of-state driver queries.
Enhanced Security and Efficiency
The upgraded system introduced robust security measures, including Transport Layer Security (TLSv1.2+) encryption and digital certificate authentication, safeguarding sensitive driver data while ensuring reliable system performance.
Rigorous Testing and Smooth Implementation
CPI conducted integration testing to validate system functionality, while OLETS and SOK carried out User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure the solution met all requirements. Following successful testing, the system was implemented in the production environment, with a 30-day stabilization period to address any non-conformities.
A Collaborative Success Story
This project represents a significant step forward in modernizing public safety systems. The collaboration between CPI, OLETS, SOK, and 3rd-party vendors was instrumental in delivering a solution that enhances security, efficiency, and interoperability. We are proud to have been part of this successful initiative.
The upgraded system now serves as a cornerstone for driver data management in Oklahoma, setting a new standard for innovation and service delivery in public safety technology.
