To find and compare every competitor to Zeer globally that operates in the next generation 911 space and uses FirstNet.

Early Findings

  •  c-Live, "Enrich[es] the voice call with the best location capabilities in the industry, video, unrivaled resiliency and flexibility, AI-enhanced automation functionalities and more. c-Live gathers as much information as possible from an incident. Then, the platform secures, organizes, and enhances the data. Finally, c-Live presents the most critical information to a call-taker such that it is easily shareable to others in the response chain."
  • Carbyne911 partners with Cisco to provide its services, is powered by AWS and is a provider of Android™ Emergency Location Services.
  • Some of their customers include Pennington County 911, Stark County Sheriff's Department and Morgan County.
