ST. CLOUD, Minn. — The Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation (GSDC) of St. Cloud Minnesota recently awarded the first I-Award for for-profit organizations recognizing and celebrating the innovation and creativity in area businesses.
GeoComm won the I-Award in the established business category for GeoLynx Spatial Router, a NENA i3 Emergency Call Routing Function/Location Validation Function (ECRF/LVF) which is currently being deployed in Texas.
GeoLynx Spatial Router is part of an end-to-end NG9-1-1 GIS solution that includes 9-1-1 GIS data management, aggregation and quality control, and systems to provision GIS data to both ECRF/LVF and tactical 9-1-1 mapping systems.
“We are honored with having been selected the inaugural recipient of this prestigious award; said Tom Grones President and CEO of GeoComm. The software platform that has been developed, tested, refined, installed and optimized has been a labor of love over the past five years for many people here at GeoComm.
It is a process that is integral to the next generation of our 9-1-1 systems in the US. This system will help direct emergency calling data on IP networks from any communications device to the 9-1-1 center most capable of providing lifesaving services to our fellow citizens during times of their greatest urgent need.”
