DATACASTING
In the rush of an emergency, first responders need accurate information to make life-saving decisions. Unfortunately, valuable time is often lost locating and delivering things like blueprints, hazardous material handling instructions and other time sensitive data.
Datacasting eliminates the problem of getting information to the scene of the incident and into the hands of the first responders.
Datacasting delivers any just-in-time incident response data using existing digital television signals. We take advantage of the billions of dollars already spent by TV station's to convert to digital and use those high-power transmitters to get your content anywhere you need it to be. Unlike wireless Internet solutions, TV signals are controlled by the broadcaster, so they will not become clogged during an emergency. TV station's also typically have backup transmitters, power generators and other redundant infrastructure to make sure they stay on-the-air. SpectraRep's technology assures that your information cannot be seen by anyone but the users you designate. It is encrypted and targetable to specific users.

Success Story - Keeping Children Safe
Through a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, SpectraRep implemented an IncidentOne solution for the Clark County school district in Las Vegas.
SpectraRep technology transmits information such as building floor plans, lists of hazardous materials, and live video feeds that first responders need to coordinate and respond. The computer data is delivered over the KLVX digital television signal, which is powerful enough to reach first responders anywhere in the County. IncidentOne can also send notifications via email and cell phone to first responders that may not be on duty at the time of an incident.
