First Responders and 911 Centers - Public Emergency Communications
The effectiveness of any emergency response can be broken down to a single factor; the ability to receive and act on timely information. 1st responders including PD police departments, fire fighters, and EMS need reliable access to critical information faster and on a variety of devices. Therefore, HipLink provides the best police and fire department messaging and notification system.
HipLink wireless emergency alert paging software provides Smartphone App, SMS text, voice and fax messaging capabilities to virtually any device. It used by police departments, law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, and emergency dispatch centers. Furthermore, HipLink expands the reach of CAD systems beyond dial-up and email for wireless dispatch of 911 messages and emergency notification.
HipLink will integrate with any CAD system to provide the automatic paging and texting component. Consequently, this adds advanced functionality with message filtering and grouping features. On the other hand, sometimes there is a need for manual paging. HipLink supports texting from a desktop computer to send text messages from a PC.
