• Give public safety more powerful tools through tighter integration of E9-1-1 and GIS solutions.
• Provide the most advanced combination of GIS with native 9-1-1 systems and operations on a common, IP-based platform.
• Deliver the logical next step for public safety agencies to respond to the evolving challenges of expanding mobile communications.
