Improve incident response with Smart Geofences

Smart geofences are GPS-based virtual boundaries that have coordinates of their own. They can be easily created or modified in minutes. They can also be enhanced via integrations with IoT inputs such as cameras and sensors. The result is a hyper-aware perimeter that is always ready to trigger a talk group, kickstart a workflow, or add/remove users whenever they cross the designated boundary.

For example, a fence can detect a subscriber on a mobile phone who has crossed a boundary, or a camera can read the license plate of an approaching delivery vehicle. In either case, ICE automatically recognizes and authenticates the users as inside the geofence area, and connects them in existing or new talk channels needed for a particular task. No one outside of the geofence or irrelevant to the task is interrupted.

The team collaborates to resolve the situation or execute the workflow. They can be assisted by instructions and supporting documents, all supplied automatically as part of the workflow. Additional important participants can be added with ease, expanding the talk channel as needed. Once users exit the geofence, they are instantly removed from the talk channel. The geofence can continue to exist for future users or be modified as needs change or new tasks emerge.
