Fast, Flexible, Future-Ready Connections Between 9-1-1 and the Devices Shaping our World

From connected cars and security systems to smart cities and wearables, the number of devices that can detect and report emergencies is quickly expanding. But the 9-1-1 system wasn't built to understand or act on all this new information. Imagine the positive impact that this critical data could have when quickly connected to the right first responders, especially when every second matters.

That's where Intrado's Emergency Data Broker comes in. It's the missing link between the devices people rely on and 9-1-1. Emergency Data Broker connects information from IoT and smart devices to public safety answering points (PSAPs) quickly, accurately, and with context.
