Versaterm is pleased to announce our full integration as a Partner Network Member with the RapidSOS emergency response data platform. While the traditional emergency response system relied on the limitations of a phone call, the Rapid SOS platform securely links lifesaving data from over 350 million connected devices to first responders in emergencies.

When fully integrated, this valuable emergency data from smartphones, smartwatches, security systems, mobile apps, and vehicles are available and accessible from vCAD and can be easily saved to the CAD call.

Full integration with vCAD provides our customer agencies the benefit of a variety of device-based location data from RapidSOS, which is accessible in MapViewer and the integrated map. Locations are plotted on the map displaying both location
information and the chronological order in which the locations were received.

The RapidSOS platform is the trusted emergency data provider for first responders. It’s used in thousands of PSAPs, covering over 92 percent of the US population, and over 12,000 first responders are trained on RapidSOS public safety technology. Achieving full integration ensures our customer agencies can take maximum advantage of this valuable resource.
