Solacom RapidSOS Clearinghouse Integration
The RapidSOS Clearinghouse directly integrates into the Solacom Guardian 9-1-1 Call Handling software, with no change to existing PSAP workflows.
Whenever a wireless call is received, RapidSOS-enabled Solacom software will automatically query the Clearinghouse for supplemental location and additional data. The Clearinghouse will return the latest available known location from enabled smartphones. Accurate wireless caller location appears in the Solacom dashboard as supplemental data to the ALI location. Data from the RapidSOS Clearinghouse is available in Guardian versions 17.1 and higher.
