Discussing the company’s products, a spokesperson said: “3tc’s computer-aided dispatch software is designed to maximise 999 call-taker speed and efficiency in high-stress environments.

“The single-screen software gathers and synthesises critical data that enables call takers to display the real-time location of the caller and the closest emergency responders to more quickly dispatch help to those in need.”

Executive vice president and chief technology officer, Motorola Solutions, Mahesh Saptharishi, said: “Every second counts in an emergency. Call takers count on CAD software to efficiently document critical information and quickly connect those in need with those who can help.

"We’ve long supported the UK’s police agencies with advanced dispatching capabilities, and this acquisition expands our command center portfolio with a solution specifically designed for fire and rescue services.”

David Todd, CEO of 3tc Software said: “We are very excited to join Motorola Solutions. We share a focus on developing solutions that streamline emergency workflows, and are excited to enhance the services we deliver to our emergency services customers.”
