Latest GeoComm updates

By John Brosowsky, SVP of Innovation, GeoComm Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping PSAP operations. From handling non-emergency calls to enabling real-time 9-1-1 transcription, translation, keyword detection, and call taker assistance, AI is becoming an integral part of modern emergency communications. But AI is not inherently intelligent; it identifies patterns and relationships within the information it has been trained on...

The Federal Communications Commission’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) reliability and interoperability represent an important step toward ensuring that emergency communications systems can meet the needs of communities across the United States.  As NG9-1-1 deployments continue to expand, the industry’s focus must extend beyond simply connecting networks. True interoperability requires consistent, reliable, and trusted location data and maps that...

By John Brosowsky, SVP of Innovation, and Tracy “Mac” McElvaney, Chief Product & Innovation Officer, GeoComm  Bridging the Gap Between Aerial and Interior Response Drone as First Responder programs are increasingly becoming part of modern public safety operations. They can provide rapid aerial situational awareness, help agencies assess scenes sooner, and give commanders and field responders more context before personnel...

Ensuring Accurate Location Data Across 100+ Local Governments. Overview In New Mexico, a largely rural state with vast geographic areas and limited emergency resources, even small GIS data errors can have life-threatening consequences. With more than 100 local government agencies contributing GIS data and over 40 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) relying on that data...

Public safety location intelligence is becoming the foundation of modern emergency response. As 9-1-1 centers, law enforcement agencies, schools, and emergency response teams adopt new technologies like indoor mapping, artificial intelligence, drones as first responders, and real-time situational awareness platforms, one thing remains essential: accurate, trusted location data. Without it, even the most advanced public...

GeoComm, a leading provider of geographic information and communication systems, has been awarded a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contract DIR-CPO-4499 for GeoComm’s public safety software.

At GeoComm, innovation meets impact. A great example of this is our groundbreaking Public Safety Content Library (PSCL). Designed to revolutionize how 9-1-1 telecommunicators, dispatchers, and emergency responders can access and use critical indoor mapping during emergencies to reduce response times, PSCL is a secure, cloud-based indoor map data warehouse purpose-built for public safety.  What...

What happens when you call 911 from your mobile phone inside a multi-story building? Accurate 9-1-1 vertical location accuracy becomes the difference between a rapid rescue and a costly delay. Until recently, unless you or others could verbally tell emergency responders what floor you were on, it was very difficult for them to find you quickly. ...

Benjamin Franklin once observed, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” While the origin of this quote is debated, its relevance remains indisputable—especially in the world of public safety. When it comes to 9-1-1 GIS data management, the message is clear: waiting for problems to appear before addressing them can have serious, even life-threatening, consequences. ...
