Team Spotlight

Today, most people expect that 9-1-1 call centers can pinpoint their exact location during emergency calls, even inside of buildings. Unfortunately, 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. While new regulations, standards, and technologies are emerging that can provide position measurements for wireless 9-1-1 callers indoors, all too often this information is not actionable, and provides little more than a blue dot on an otherwise blank whiteboard for emergency responders. GeoComm is working hard to solve this problem and our team of industry experts are dedicated to helping public safety agencies across the United States utilize this important and valuable piece of Public Safety Location Intelligence® to enhance their emergency response situational awareness.

Life-Saving Z-Axis Data in the Emergency Communication Center

When a 9-1-1 call is placed, the caller’s location is a primary piece of information that dispatchers need to deploy emergency response personnel. Where is the caller located? What do their surroundings look like? Could something about that location be an obstacle or even hazardous to first responders?
