Going forward, Mobile Apps will play a key role in decision making and enhancing effectiveness, efficiency, and protection of health and safety of first responders. The advancement of wireless broadband data technologies, from 4G to 5G and beyond, enabling advent of IoT is the key enabling factor for Mobile Apps. Future first responders will be “empowered” with devices that enable real-time, data-enriched, interaction between on-site responders and command centers, carrying vital information about the event scene, helping critical decisions to be made, thus improving success of outcomes. For example, wearable devices, body-worn sensors will be able to monitor the vital signals and health and safety of the first responders. These connected (IoT) devices, strategically placed on first responders and the devices and tools they use, will generate huge volumes of data that need to be kept protected from security breaches, which otherwise may have life threatening consequences. The huge volumes of data need to be managed and analyzed in real-time with, cloud-centric, multi-level authentication security features, approach to address scalability and timeliness and to render its effectiveness.

The RFP process enables you with the knowledge to negotiate the best deal. The skill with which a customer creates an RFP can dictate the success or failure of the resulting solution.
