How will it work?
APCO has partnered with CentralSquare, FirstNet Built with AT&T, GeoComm, Intrado, L3Harris and RapidDeploy to bring these next generation technologies to life. Following a panel discussion, our partners will demonstrate each scenario using their technology and equipment. During these live demonstrations, attendees can ask questions. All scenarios are designed to analyze emergency response, comparing what a current response looks like to what will be possible with next generation technologies.
APCO will also host the Public Safety Communications Leadership in Policy Awards virtually on May 26. Visit the website to check out this year’s winners.
