GeoComm deploys over 1,200 ArcGIS engines in public safety
agencies nationwide
In just five fiscal year quarters GeoComm has posted sales of over 1,200
ESRI ArcGIS Engine runtimes in conjunction with its popular GeoLynx
9-1-1 and GeoLynx Mobile mapping applications. These applications have
been implemented for public safety agencies nationwide.
GeoComm, an ESRI partner since 1997, has over 500 public safety
software customers in 37 states including Hawaii and Alaska.
"GeoLynx 9-1-1 and GeoLynx Mobile embed ESRI's ArcGIS engine
runtime for E9-1-1 telecommunicators, CAD dispatchers, and emergency
response vehicles operators. GeoComm is a key ESRI business partner
for bringing ArcGIS technology to public safety agencies," said Russ
Johnson, public safety industry manager for ESRI.
"GeoComm started re-mastering our ESRI MapObjects code base to
ArcGIS Engine in 2006," said John Brosowsky, Product Development
Director for GeoComm. "ArcGIS Engine gives our emergency GIS
applications new capabilities like displaying Web map services depicting
current weather and other real-time dynamic data. ArcGIS Engine dynamic
display provides a very fluid user experience for in-vehicle navigation and
heads up displays. Building on the ArcGIS framework has especially
helped our software integrate seamlessly into larger customers' existing
ArcGIS enterprises."
GeoLynx 9-1-1 is an emergency dispatch GIS that connects directly to
enhanced 9-1-1 systems for automatic map display of wireline, wireless,
Voice over IP calls, as well as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) calls for
service. With the addition of GeoLynx AVL, GeoLynx 9-1-1 tracks vehicles
using GPS. GeoLynx Mobile is mobile response GIS that provides similar
capabilities as GeoLynx 9-1-1 tailored to an in-vehicle environment.
