SOS Technologies Launches Next-Generation CAD911 Interface Engine

In an impressive move to enhance public safety, SOS Technologies has officially announced the deployment of its latest technological innovation—the CAD911 Interface Engine. This advancement marks a significant leap in emergency response systems, allowing verified emergency alerts to be communicated directly to first responder vehicles in less than five seconds. This innovation aims to streamline the cumbersome process of 911 voice calls and traditional dispatch workflows, all while providing crucial situational awareness data crucial for timely responses.

The CAD911 Interface Engine is a CAD-agnostic platform, which means it operates independently of various Computer Aided Dispatch systems, thus ensuring compatibility across different dispatch environments. One of the notable implementations of this technology was witnessed last month when it was integrated into New York City's Emergency Alert System (EAS), making the Spring Creek campus in Brooklyn the first school in the United States with direct 911 first responder connectivity. Over the current school year, this initiative will extend to encompass a total of 25 school buildings, representing 51 public schools throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

Travis Leonardi, CEO of SOS Technologies, emphasized the monumental shift this CAD911 interface represents in the communication of active threats to first responders. He stated, "By eliminating reliance on 911 voice calls and manual dispatch workflows, our CAD911 engine delivers verified emergency alerts directly to first-responder vehicles in under five seconds—reducing delays, easing call center and dispatcher workload, and accelerating response across police, fire, EMS, and other agencies."

Key Features of the CAD911 Interface Engine

The newly launched CAD911 Interface Engine comes packed with features designed to enhance operational efficiency and data security. These key functionalities include:

• - Flexible, CAD-Agnostic Data: The platform accommodates various types of emergency data, including alerts, images, and attachments. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into multiple dispatch environments.
• - GovRamp Authorization for Security: Security is a top priority, with the platform utilizing enterprise-grade security measures, such as end-to-end encryption, ensuring sensitive emergency data remains protected at all times.
• - Designed for High Availability: With a focus on mission-critical operations, the CAD911 platform is built to achieve an impressive 99.999% availability, featuring continuous monitoring and automatic failover capabilities to reduce the risk of downtime.
• - Robust Safeguards: This system has built-in features to prevent accidental activations, enabling safe testing and maintenance without disrupting live dispatch operations.
• - Enhanced Situational Awareness: The engine boosts situational awareness by delivering real-time location data and system health visibility, equipping first responders with invaluable information to make quick, informed decisions during emergencies.

Paul Averill, the company's President and COO, stated, "The CAD911 platform closes a critical gap between threat detection and emergency response. Active threat alerts initiated from on-site devices can now reach first-responder vehicles in seconds—without waiting on legacy call handling or dispatch workflows. This is a breakthrough in speed, certainty, and situational awareness."

As the national conversation around modernizing public safety infrastructure gains momentum, SOS Technologies' CAD911 Interface Engine stands at the forefront of this evolution, particularly in urban settings where every second is crucial during emergencies.
