As preparations for hosting Super Bowl 50 got underway, Santa Clara County, CA, needed to be assured it could rapidly deploy Emergency Medical Services (EMS) vehicles in case of any emergency. That's why officials turned to Laguna Hills, CA-based technology company, GPS Logic Mobile Data Systems, to assure a network of emergency vehicles with automated vehicle location, data capture and exchange technologies.

Providing a way to quickly and securely exchange emergency medical information during the largest sporting event in the nation required the ability to instantly identify, transmit key data and deploy the closest appropriately equipped EMS vehicles to the scene of an emergency.

Working closely with the County's Common Regional Operating Picture (CROP) technology group and participating EMS agencies, GPS Logic's technical team quickly developed software interface capabilities specifically for Santa Clara County. The software allowed Santa Clara to instantly access key data of emergency medical vehicles through GPS Logic's proprietary cloud service in real time. With GPS Logic's advanced telematics national service, the data exchange and collection capabilities extended far beyond the county borders.

After the September 11 attacks, there has been a nationwide effort to link data, exchange information, and share communication platforms among law enforcement, emergency medical, and other first responder agencies. The GPS Logic technology supported the Super Bowl 50 technical initiative as the result of its ongoing telematics, M2M, and Internet of Things development since 2008. This advance technology provides essential, uninterrupted Automated Vehicle Location and data exchange among thousands of mobile Public Safety units and connected agencies -- a critical necessity during normal emergency services and a catastrophic event.

"We are pleased to offer this capability and support to our customers, while helping Santa Clara County in its Super Bowl and CROP initiative," said Ronald Cedillos, CEO of GPS Logic Mobile Data Systems. "The future of emergency medical services and Public Safety will rely on accurate, real time shared data. Our systems are uniquely positioned to be the key component of that data exchange."
