Innovation Spotlight~ Automated External Defibrillator Location Display Experience
GeoComm partnered with Stearns County, Minnesota, and a local non-profit in 2019 on an initiative aimed at mapping the location information for Automatic Emergency Defibrillators (AEDs) in Stearns County.

Understanding The Urgency For Indoor Maps
Today, most people expect that 9-1-1 call centers can pinpoint their exact location during emergency calls, even inside of buildings. But you do not have to look far to find high profile cases where challenges locating 9-1-1 callers indoors have contributed to increased emergency response times, and even tragic outcomes.
Indoor Mapping: Why do I need it?
By now you have probably heard the statistic that today approximately 80 percent of all 9-1-1 calls originate from mobile phones. More and more people are forgoing wireline telephone service and are relying on mobile phone service exclusively. Indoor maps are needed to fully unlock the life-saving potential of indoor geodetic positions of mobile phones during 9-1-1 calls that the industry has worked so hard for to create.

Vertical and Indoor 9-1-1 Location Mapping
Today more and more people rely on mobile phones as their primary phone service and are disconnecting wireline service altogether. As a result, more 9-1-1 calls are being placed from mobile phones than ever before, including from inside buildings where E9-1-1 mobile phone location technology does not work very well. Thanks to new FCC rules on this topic, wireless carriers and major industry technology players are now working to quickly address this issue.
