Welcome to the Digital ADVANTAGE
We’re also unveiling a new blog series called, Zetron Presents: Day in the Life. Zetron works with mission critical communications professionals every day and the new series is a way to spotlight their stories and show how they make a difference. The first editions of the series feature Mike Weaver, Director of Lancaster County-Wide Communications and Melissa Alterio, Director of Cobb County 911.
In this edition’s Solution Focus, we look at the latest MAX Fire Station Alerting 5.10 release and the benefits it provides. And if you happen to be at IWCE 2023, we’ll be there showcasing the new features live. All this and more in this edition of the Zetron ADVANTAGE.
Zetron Expands Emergency
Communications Technology Portfolio
In February, Zetron announced the acquisition of GeoConex Corporation, a developer and integrator of Public Safety and Homeland Security communications systems. While the name may not be immediately familiar to many Advantage subscribers, the technology certainly is to those using Zetron’s MAX CAD. GeoConex has been a Zetron partner since 2009, when the company’s software was first leveraged to bring Zetron’s MAX CAD to market.
MAX CAD has since grown to be an integral component of the MAX emergency communications suite, including MAX Call Taking, MAX Dispatch and MAX Fire Station Alerting. While MAX solutions are routinely deployed standalone as point solutions by customers and integrated with other existing third party solutions, the addition of MAX CAD enabled Zetron to offer a complete and fully integrated technology platform for emergency communications centers.
As a new division of Zetron, substantial investments in the GeoConex team, as well as the company’s technologies and services, are underway to expand the business. So while the acquisition is an exciting development for both Zetron and GeoConex, the real excitement will be for the expanded CAD capabilities, services and support Zetron will be able to offer the current and future collective customers of both companies as a result of our joining forces. Stay tuned for future CAD developments as Zetron welcomes new GeoConex division.
