Unite Your State or Region with Real-Time Interoperability
Fragmentation is Your Greatest Risk
When calls get routed to an agency outside the caller’s jurisdiction, disconnected systems and a lack of shared data cost precious time. Traditional solutions like CAD-to-CAD integrations can be costly, take years to implement, and require complex upgrades at one or more agencies.
These costs and delays are a liability that your state, region, and community can’t shoulder.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from a CAD-to-CAD integration?
RapidSOS UNITE’s real-time interoperability functionality is faster to implement, more cost-effective, and works independently of any CAD system. It provides real-time data sharing and communication as an incident happens, without waiting for CAD entry, and remains operational even if a CAD system fails.
What happens during a catastrophic outage?
RapidSOS UNITE’s real-time interoperability works alongside your existing ESInet or service providers, which continue to handle your call-routing logic. If an outage would take out the primary and backup PSAPs, you can use our Backup 911 Services as a Last Resort Option, so APCO-certified telecommunicators could help you maintain operations. This means professional, certified call-takers would handle the emergency while the authoritative ECC can still see live transcripts and coordinate dispatch, maintaining situational awareness.
Is this difficult to implement across agencies with different technology?
No. RapidSOS UNITE’s real-time interoperability functionality is designed to work across agencies, regardless of their existing technology vendors. It creates a common operational picture on a platform that is already familiar to public safety, minimizing training and accelerating adoption.
How does this help smaller or rural ECCs?
This functionality levels the playing field, bringing the same powerful, enterprise-grade tools used by large metro agencies to every ECC in your state or region. This ensures a consistent, high standard of service for all communities.
