NexGen Global Technologies Partners with UCF Police Department to Send Photos, Video and Text to 9-1-1

Winter Springs, Fla.,– NexGen’s Global Technologies has just successfully completed Beta Testing of its new NexGen’s 9-1-1 technology with the UCF Police Department 9-1-1 Communications Center. Rick Shaffer, co-founder and managing partner at NexGen Global Technologies, said NexGen 9-1-1 is a cloud based technology which allows the general public to call in and speak to a 9-1-1 operator, after which they can be directed to send in photos, video and text to the Emergency Communications Center from their mobile phones. There’s no special software or app needed and cell phone users can use any wireless carrier. UCF Police Chief Richard Beary said the NexGen system will allow his 9-1-1 Dispatch Operators to send and receive photos, video and text from citizens then distribute them to his Officers within minutes. “This technology supports and enhances our mission in a big way,” said Chief Beary. “Add this to NexGen’s partnership with the newest aerial drone technology company, Hoverfly, and we can now effectively patrol all areas with a virtual birds eye view of the entire campus while using high resolution imagery to capture, record and transmit events in a 4G LTE and cloud-based wireless environment,” Chief Beary said, adding “We are negotiating a contract in order to implement these next generation technologies as soon as possible.” The NexGen technology suite also includes Satellite Assisted Mobility (SAM Alerts) which allows for satellite communication in areas where land based and wireless infrastructures become disabled; and aerial drone technology which provides virtual mobile aerial surveillance and assessment. Shaffer said NexGen is paving the way to a new level of safety and security during emergency incidents when time is of the essence. “No other company or wireless carrier in the world has this technology,” said Shaffer, a 25 year veteran of the FBI. NexGen Global Technologies is a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program in Winter Springs.
