AT&T and RapidDeploy team up to advance emergency response capabilities with cloud-based solutions

AT&T and RapidDeploy formed a new relationship that enables AT&T to provide Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) access to RapidDeploy’s cloud-based Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) platform. RapidDeploy is a modern update to the dispatch solutions currently used by PSAPs. Hosted in the cloud and browser-based, RapidDeploy’s CAD platform is cost-effective, scalable and easy to deploy, making it a viable solution for agencies of all sizes. RapidDeploy’s CAD platform is built on an open-API architecture. It can be integrated with relevant and emerging data-rich sources to improve public safety’s situational awareness. For example, dispatchers can access near real-time information like closed-caption video streams or data from Internet of Things devices. These tools can help them better understand the response needed and enhance their decision making. Plus, first responders can access this rich information in the field using the RapidDeploy app or through a browser.

“AT&T has a proven track record of serving as the nation’s trusted 911 solutions provider. By working together, we can help speed public safety’s adoption of 21st century technology. We will equip public safety with the innovative and adaptable tools they deserve,” said Steve Raucher, CEO and Co-founder, RapidDeploy.
