AUSTIN, TX (August 3, 2023) - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - RapidDeploy, the leading cloud-native solution provider for Public Safety, today announced Lightning, a new mobile app that delivers 911 call data and critical information directly to first responders’ mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. Kansas will be the first statewide customer to harness the power of Lightning, enabling the sharing of data across state and local stakeholders, and providing more than 100 911 centers and 24,000 first responders access to real-time, life-saving information to aid in response efforts.
Typically, emergency response teams grapple with fragmented information, communication and barriers that persist between multiple agencies, limiting the information flowing directly into first responders in the field.
TheLightning application is powered by RapidDeploy’s primary call-taking map,Radius Mapping, extending Next Generation 911 technology beyond its current footprint of over 1,500 call centers, and through this mobile app into the hands of the responders on the front lines. First responders leveraging the mobile app will have access to real-time 911 call data, location accuracy, video feeds, GIS mapping layers, and more, providing situational awareness, improving joint inter-agency communications, and delivering a new level of visibility amongst responders.
Lightning plays a crucial role in RapidDeploy’s quest to democratize public safety by offering its comprehensive Next Generation 911 product suite of mapping, analytics, and now mobile capabilities, to all agencies. This approach ensures accessibility and promotes inclusivity, even in rural areas with limited technology. RapidDeploy’s new mobile app is secure, reliable, and accessible for Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Emergency Management, Highway Patrol and various other first responding agencies.
“Our new mobile app goes beyond the limitations of current tools in the field, giving first responders access to a mobile command center that empowers them with modern, life-saving technology,” says Steve Raucher, CEO of RapidDeploy. “Lightning consolidates critical information into hand-held view, allowing for seamless access to incident and responder location, streaming video, school blueprints, digitized maps, plus real-time coordination with 911 centers, other responding officers and agencies.”
The Kansas 911 Coordinating Council has been a statewide Radius Mapping customer since 2019, and will be the first to adopt the Lightning app statewide across all disciplines, making it available to thousands of first responders, including volunteers.
“The vote was unanimous to approve statewide procurement of RapidDeploy’s new mobile app, and as the first statewide customer, we are proud to adopt this ground-breaking technology,” said Michele Abbott, Communication and Training Coordinator, KS911 Coordinating Council. “Radius Mapping is already available across our 911 centers, and now with the addition of an app like Lightning, we can put the same level of mission-critical information in the hands of our field responders who risk their lives each and every day. We’re excited to offer this innovative solution to Law, Fire, and EMS, which will help prioritize the safety of those in the field and ensure that we can better serve our communities.”
Specific key features to include:
● Bring your own device (BYOD), making the app available to all first responders, from Law, Fire, EMS and beyond
● Responder location sharing (including Z-axis), providing a holistic view of critical incidents and tracking of first responders
● Live incident board for improved communications, response and better outcomes for large-scale incidents
● Vehicle telematics signals, visualizing cut plans to aide in extrication
● Direct access to CCTV and real-time video sharing supporting greater first responders preparedness and emergency outcomes
● View authoritative GIS and indoor floor plans directly within the mobile map
Lightning will offer broad device compatibility, supporting both iOS and Android platforms. Statewide licensing options will be available to enable organizations to implement this comprehensive emergency response solution throughout their jurisdictions.
The new Lightning application will be unveiled at APCO in Nashville, where Steve Raucher will be joined on stage by Troy Briggs, KS911 Coordinating Council Chairman, Haskell County Sheriff and Michele Abbott, Communication and TrainingCoordinator, KS911 Coordinating Council. The featured session will take place on Monday, August 7 at 3:45pm EST in the presentation theater location in the APCO exhibit hall.

RapidDeploy Expands Cloud-Native Platform for Public Safety with New Emergency Call Handling Solution, RapidONE
Fully based in the cloud, RapidONE combines 911 call handling and mapping, establishing a more efficient, resilient, and portable solution – all within a single pane of glass
AUSTIN,TX June 15, 2023 - RapidDeploy, the leading cloud-native solution provider for Public Safety, today announced its new, browser-based call handling solution, RapidONE. RapidONE enables hybrid work environments and eliminates legacy data silos by displaying all call-related information on a single screen, also known as a "single pane of glass."
Today, the majority of calls received by 911 centers are processed using outdated on-premises call handling solutions, which are unable to leverage next generation mapping technology. These centers are also facing a significant staffing crisis. NENA reports a 30% staffing shortage on average at 911 call centers across the nation. While a recent survey by the International Academies of Dispatch (IAED) and the National Association of State 911 Administrators (NASNA),expands on this and shows that 89% of centers surveyed have some vacancies.
This dual challenge underscores the critical need for a solution like RapidONE, which can address the limitations of legacy call handling systems, provide flexibility for the pressing staffing shortage, and consolidate the multi-monitor cumbersome workflows, ensuring efficient and effective emergency response.
RapidONE is embedded in RapidDeploy’s primary call-taking map, Radius Mapping, which provides a single platform for mission critical unified communications and supplemental data, including mobile location, situational awareness, GIS data, along with modern communication tools like two-way texting with AI-powered live translation, and streaming video from the caller’s handset. This streamlines the emergency response workflow and drives better outcomes.
“Our cloud-native platform is unifying call handling and mapping into one solution to simplify mission critical workflows, from the moment the call is answered to the moment resources are dispatched into the field,“ said Steve Raucher, CEO ofRapidDeploy. “Every moment matters, and the speed at which we can answer and connect 911 calls with the critical information powered by a resilient, single pane of glass is life-saving.”
RapidONE is built to i3 NENA standards, supports ESInet, and enables Telecommunicators and 911 agencies to benefit from having a single solution for communicating with callers and accessing the intelligent information they need to act fast, with accuracy and confidence from anywhere.
“Fusing cloud-native call handling and mapping into one solution is a major upgrade for public safety,” said Jacob Saur, ECC Administrator at Arlington ECC, which has been using RapidDeploy Radius Mapping since last year. “Call handling fully supported by the cloud and integrated with a primary map delivers the most critical touch points all in one place and provides a new level of resiliency and portability. Public safety teams can expect new opportunities for staffing models such as remote call-taking and the ability to have backup centers outside of traditional boundaries - all of which impact frontline support and the speed at which we can respond to critical incidents.”
RapidDeploy is currently deployed in over 1,500 emergency communications centers nationwide and integrates a robust network of partners and applications in a centralized Next Generation 911 ecosystem.
RapidONE will be available later this year. For more information, email rapidone@rapiddeploy.com.

Austin, Texas (November 18, 2022) – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Today RapidDeploy, the leading cloud-native mapping and analytics solutions for Public Safety, announces that RapidDeploy Radius Mapping has been selected by Arlington, Virginia as their new 9-1-1 map. Radius Mapping is currently live in multiple 9-1-1 centers in the Washington, DC area, including Alexandria and Montgomery County, with more coming before the end of the year.
Radius Mapping integrates with incoming 9-1-1 calls as part of the 9-1-1 workflow, adding mobile caller location data, GIS authoritative data, and modern communication tools to find callers faster and improve the outcome of calls coming into the 9-1-1 center. With over 80% of 9-1-1 calls coming from cell phones, mobile handset data provide more accurate locations for First Responders, even tracking callers that are driving or walking. The call data is plotted alongside the network call data on maps with authoritative GIS data like metro lines, z-axis, and jurisdiction boundaries. 9-1-1 call takers have the option to communicate over the phone, through 2-way text with language translation, or with streaming video.
“We are excited to bring next-generation 9-1-1 technology to the citizens of Arlington, Virginia,” said Jacob Saur, ECC Administrator at Arlington County Government. “RapidDeploy Radius Mapping will help us locate residents and visitors calling into 9-1-1 faster in their time of need and adds the ability for us to text with language translation for non-native English speakers.”
Arlington, Virginia is part of the National Capital Region, which has multiple 9-1-1 centers across 2 states and the District of Colombia, to respond to residents and visitors. Many of them like Alexandria, VA have adopted next-generation RapidDeploy technology, which enables the different 9-1-1 centers to track 9-1-1 callers as the move through the densely populated area, ensuring that the callers get the care they need even as they move into different jurisdictions and cities.
“We are honored to provide RapidDeploy next-generation technology to Arlington, Virginia,” said Steve Raucher, CEO and Co-founder at RapidDeploy. “With the dense population and tourists in the city, Radius Mapping will have an immediate impact on outcomes of 9-1-1 calls.
Arlington ECC is live with network call, mobile location, and authoritative GIS data in Radius Mapping and will be adding the 2-way text and streaming video soon.
