GeoComm's GeoLynx Server, a web-based 911 mapping solution, supports display device-enhanced hybrid locations from the RapidSOS Clearinghouse. This capability improves location accuracy to provide faster and more reliable 911 response to wireless callers.
GeoComm has partnered with RapidSOS to show device-based hybrid location on a 911 calltaker mapping displays. Early test calls of this functionality show that device-based hybrid caller location was available by the time traditional Wireless Phase 1 (cell tower and sector) information came in, and the caller location was on average more accurate than traditional Wireless Phase 2 latitude / longitude positions calculated for mobile phones.
GeoLynx Server is GeoComm’s flagship 911 call mapping application deployed across the country in 911 communication centers of all sizes. In addition to this new functionality, GeoLynx Server provides detailed GIS maps with real-time 911 caller locations. 911 calltakers use GeoLynx Server to see locations of 911 calls originating from landline and wireless phones, VoIP devices, and telematics services. GeoLynx Server integrates with any Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), or Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) to provide advanced mapping in the PSAP as well as Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) functionality.
