RapidDeploy’s advanced Next Generation 911 (NG911) product suite
accelerates emergency response and enhances decision-making. The
suite includes Radius Mapping, precise real-time call location
mapping that allows for faster and more focused dispatch of
emergency resources. Its companion mobile application, Lightning,
gives first responders direct access to critical 911 call data on
their smartphones or tablets. Eclipse Analytics helps Public Safety
Answering Points measure 911 call response times, queue times and
provide the right levels of staffing based on expected call
volumes.
“In a crisis of any magnitude - a vehicle accident, medical
emergency or active shooter - every second counts during the
emergency response,” said Mahesh Saptharishi, executive vice
president and chief technology officer, Motorola Solutions.
“RapidDeploy’s technology connects first responders with critical
information so they can reach those in need faster and be more
prepared, saving valuable time in emergencies.”
Using RapidDeploy, 911 telecommunicators gain access to
real-time data, including a caller’s GPS location, indoor floor
plans, and communications like text, chat messaging and live video
streams, which can be shared directly with a first responder in the
field. RapidDeploy currently integrates with Motorola Solutions’
Rave suite to aggregate public safety data, intelligence sharing
and notification capabilities to enhance the workflow of
telecommunicators and first responders during critical
emergencies.
With this acquisition, Motorola Solutions and RapidDeploy will
help ensure public safety agencies have better access to data and
increased situational awareness during emergency response so they
can better serve their communities. Motorola Solutions expects to
integrate RapidDeploy’s technology into its VESTA 911 call handling
software and AI-powered VESTA NXT platform to further enhance
telecommunicator speed and efficiency. RapidDeploy currently
supports over 1,600 PSAPs/emergency communications centers in 24
states.
“We are honored to join Motorola Solutions, a company that
shares our commitment to public safety and our mission of saving
lives by reducing response times,” said Steve Raucher, co-founder
and CEO, RapidDeploy. “Together, we will continue to accelerate
innovation in 911 technology, helping to make NG911 smarter, more
unified and seamlessly integrated to empower first responders and
help save more lives.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
