The flow of critical information in emergency situations is not always efficient and clear, a problem that might interfere with first responders’ operations.  A new mobile-centric platform to improve this situation has been launched recently by Digital Management (DMI).

The company said EndZone, its new cloud-based platform for mobile-centric situational awareness, allows for greater awareness than most solutions, which have focused on improving command centers’ ability to receive critical field information and relay directions and information back out to the field.

EndZone’s mobile model instead allows first responders, law enforcement and security, and field operating teams to direct and take action from the field, using a mobile device, according to washingtonexec.com.

“First response and field work is dependent on real-time situational awareness and clear, integrated communication,” said DMI founder and CEO Jay Sunny Bajaj. “EndZone delivers the best of both worlds in a user-friendly format to help those on the front lines stay safe and better perform their jobs, giving teams the eyes, ears, and real-time data they desperately need today to become more agile and secure on the ground.”

According to the company’s website, EndZone delivers an enterprise-class mobile precision situational awareness solution to manage emerging threats in high risk areas. It provides the capability for networked communications (4G, LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Coverage on Wheels (COW), and satellite) to align with location based technology while keeping individuals safe during a crisis.

The lightweight, easily deployable, and mobile centric, EndZone can be operated securely from any mobile device. The platform includes notifications with Dynamic Geofencing and multi-streaming video on mobile devices. Users can send an SOS from their smartphone and be assisted through a secure integrated network of responders and administrators.

The technology Improves the coordinator’s situational awareness and emergency management in real-time. EndZone utilizes the map as the main point of reference for monitoring.
