AQSACOM Public Safety Solution (APSS)
Leveraging Location Data for Emergency Location & Public Alerting
A growing number of public safety organizations across the world are deploying a new type of wireless emergency warning system. This new public safety communications technique, called Reverse 1-1-2, enables authorities to target people in defined geographic locations and rapidly warn them via their mobile phones.
AQSACOM Public Safety Solution (APSS) provides Reverse 1-1-2 to communicate information regarding potential hazards (man-made or natural), through a proprietary geolocalised message-sending technology. APSS allows citizens to evacuate or avoid a danger zone more quickly thereby reducing the chances of casualties.
By utilizing APSS in the network, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can work with local, state, and national public safety authorities to prevent, and more effectively respond to critical situations including:
Search and Rescue Emergency Response:
Support immediate action to rescue people from death or injury as a consequence of severe accidents or hazards including actions related to land, sea, and air rescue operations.
Fire Protection:
Protect lives, health, and the environment in the event of fire and explosion, accidents involving hazardous substances, and hazardous goods.
Terrorist Acts:
Send live alerting messages following a terrorist attack, and help to clear specific geographic areas for better emergency & enforcement operations.
Nuclear, Chemical, and Explosive:
Support prevention and management of incidents involving the spread of chemicals that may cause damage to health or damage to the environment and material assets, into the air, water, foods, or soil.
Mobile phone usage enables public authorities to leverage mobile networks for Public Safety at both small and large scales. Emergency situations require management of multi-technical aspects and several capabilities to:
- Locate people through any kind of network service (from 2G to 5G)
- Reach people through any kind of network service (from 2G to 5G)
- Broadcast messages in a fast, massive, and location-targeted manner
- Instantly alert international roamers in different languages
