Safety reimagined

Scotoma Technologies is an exciting start-up company, developing mobile applications to integrate with the emerging technology of Proximal Networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). This technology enables interoperability among connected devices, allowing for discovery, communications and alerting. Recent enhancements to this technology, allow for direct device-to-device (D2D) communication between nearby mobile devices. 

These enhancements have gotten the attention of several public safety entities, as this mode of communication provides a fallback solution when broadband networks are not available. It’s no secret that crime is on the rise in many Metropolitan areas nationwide. Because of this increase in crime, many Cities are struggling to maintain public safety. Many large cities across the US and the Department of Homeland security (DHS) have invested millions of dollars upgrading their Public Safety Infrastructure to support the latest technology, including, video surveillance systems, geographic Information Systems, remote sensing, analytics, and data mapping applications. 

This type of technology allows law enforcers to make enormous leaps in criminal intelligence, crime analysis, emergency response, and policing.  At Scotoma Technology, we want to expand the use of technology for Public Safety and develop mobile applications to aid in crime prevention, alert to crimes actively being committed, decrease the time it takes to capture information on a crime being reported and signal command centers to go live on cameras they are monitoring. 

The mobile application is used to instantly notify a 911 Center the moment when a crime is taking place. The mobile app will automatically detect a discoverable device using a session-less signal. The remote entity will automatically create a transient session without having to connect to a Network using credentials. Every time a user is in the vicinity of a discoverable device, their mobile device will connect, without the user having to initiate the connection.
