Describing the attendant change to Safety Shield’s user interface, a spokesperson said that the “precise location data of Intrado’s beacons” can now be displayed. These are activated when personnel deploy the latter’s wearable panic buttons.
Discussing the rationale for the integration a spokesperson said: “Most schools and enterprises have adopted a multi-layered security approach to protect students and staff. However, a critical component of this approach—the first layer of defense—involves having accurate, up-to-date emergency mapping data for first responders.
“Intrado Safety Shield now seamlessly integrates with CRG’s mapping data, allowing organisations to leverage detailed, accurate maps during emergencies, providing crucial context, improving response times, and ensuring precise situational awareness.
“This integration facilitates better coordination among emergency responders by offering a shared visual representation of the incident scene, essential for effective decision-making during critical situations.”
Intrado head of products, Jaz Lin, said: "By integrating CRG’s critical incident mapping data with Safety Shield, we are furthering our commitment to delivering unparalleled situational awareness and response capabilities. Working with CRG empowers our users with the precise mapping information they need to navigate emergencies swiftly and effectively."
The Intrado product is FirstNet-certified, and is available in the latter’s app catalogue.
