FirstNet, AT&T Public Safety Sales, and RapidDeploy partner to provide awareness of next generation 9-1-1 Call Handling and Computer Aided Dispatch. When a request for service is delivered to call handling platforms, Computer Aided Dispatch can then be employed to connect the 9-1-1 Dispatcher to information that resides off premise, or in “The Cloud”, as well using LTE to interface with assets in the field. Learning about the opportunity for improved situational awareness by removing data silos across applications is core to this presentation. An additional area of education that will be presented is sharing the real time reflection of GIS updates published to the PSAP’s Esri infrastructure.
