Motorola Solutions, Inc. MSI announced that Hereford and Worcester FRS, Shropshire FRS, Cleveland Fire Brigade, and Country Durham & Darlington FRS have opted to deploy MSI’s Control Room Solution (“CRS”). The Fire & Rescue agencies operate 77 fire stations, serving 2.5 million people.

Supporting such a large number of people is a major operational challenge, particularly during high-demand periods when emergency call handlers and dispatchers can become overwhelmed with assistance requests. System incompatibility of different agencies also undermines the prospect of joint coordinated responses. Traditional approaches also lack the flexibility to scale the operations as per requirement. Advanced features of MSI CRS enable safety organizations to overcome this fragmentation and rigidness of legacy systems.

MSI’s CRS is a browser-based software solution designed to streamline emergency response workflows. This solution incorporates all the vital command and control functionalities into a unified and intuitive response system. The deployment includes computer-aided dispatch, an integrated communication control system and data-recording capabilities. MSI’s multi-agency hub integrates these innovative features and enables safety personnel to operate independently during routine operations and facilitate collaboration during peak demand periods.

These hybrid approaches ensure greater utilization of resources and boost the productivity of call assistants, dispatchers and frontline workers. Sharing of the underlying infrastructure across several agencies lowers operating costs while improving service delivery.

Will This Collaboration Boost MSI’s Share Performance?

In response to the rising number of emergency situations, public safety agencies worldwide are looking to boost its response capabilities by optimizing operations and enhancing service delivery. MSI’s comprehensive product portfolio is well suited for these requirements, positioning the company to capitalize on these emerging market trends.

Moreover, the collaborative emergency service management is a key differentiator for the MSI’s new control room platform. This platform has been already gaining significant market traction. Earlier this month, the Scottish Fire and Rescue services selected and integrated the control room solution across its system. The company is expected to benefit from solid growth in video security, command center software and land-mobile radio services in the upcoming quarters.
