## What is beamFirst?

beamFirst is designed by and for first responders. beamFirst delivers new levels of situational awareness and first responder communication through live audio and video, voice, text/SMS, sub-second GPS monitoring - all on one screen on any iOS device. beamFirst finally makes migration from legacy systems to next-generation Broadband communication possible. This easy-to-use service functions on the devices your people own and use now, so there is no additional hardware to buy.

beamFirst delivers the capabilities of multiple apps in one comprehensive service. Other apps provide single-function capabilities which cause you to purchase additional apps that don’t communicate or integrate. beamFirst is comprehensive, unified communication solution combined into one easy-to-use mobile interface.
