GPS Location Data
Carbyne and RapidSOS have partnered together to offer a seamless flow of critical, real-time data from callers to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). This will help first responders more accurately locate and treat victims—decreasing response times, improving response efficiency and ultimately saving more lives. During an emergency, RapidSOS enables connected devices to transmit data such as accurate location, medical and demographic data, car telematics data, and additional information directly into 911 systems nationwide. Call takers will be provided with accurate location information and secured, rich emergency data regarding the caller, enabling PSAPs to pinpoint callers and provide maximum support.
