APX Personnel Accountability Application
SDI’s fireground accountability software uses fireground handie-talkie radio traffic integrated with department personnel data to rapidly process and display critical personnel accountability information for use by incident commanders.
Derived from SDI’s innovative software built for FDNY’s Electronic Fireground Accountability System (EFAS), our software enables rapid handling of emergency alerts and streamlined incident rollcalls via handie-talkie portable radio keying. It provides easy-to-use software that bolsters safety activities and reduces the time required to account for personnel status on the fireground.
For the Motorola Solutions line of APX™ radios, we built the APX™ Personnel Accountability Application (APAA) to take advantage of the advanced features in APX™ radios. The APAA software transforms fireground accountability, working seamlessly with APX™ radios over the same voice communications network that a department uses at an incident scene (single channel, fireground conventional).
