The Response for FirstNet platform is a mobile situational awareness platform for day-to-day and emergency operations allowing teams or user groups to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate. With our overarching channels feature, you can segregate information into operational containers and only allow invited users to share and view the data. Channels enable organizations to manage multiple operations, departments, sectors, or investigations at the same time. Within Response for FirstNet are three modules that can be purchased individually. Locate is the geospatial solution that provides real-time positions of users, static markers, and shapes combined with direction capability and traffic all displayed on the map interface. The Connect module is an interactive information sharing workspace where teams can share texts, videos, whiteboards, documents, audio files, and photographs. Annotate and draw on all items and integrated to-do lists/task management. The Activate module is a very simple to use emergency notification and team mobilization tool. Users can accept or decline activation and get turn-by-turn directions to the incident as well as necessary details. Lastly, we integrate leading cellular EPTT (push to talk) solutions so that calls can be made directly from within Response. Call us for more details.
