Tyler’s New World public safety solution to
integrate with Samsung Gear S3
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that it is
collaborating with Samsung Electronics America, Inc. in the Samsung
Enterprise Alliance Program (SEAP) to create additional innovative
products for public safety agencies. This program provides partners
with access to more device features and leading-edge technologies
on Samsung mobile devices. With this capability, partner software
solutions can be better tailored to meet the needs of public safety
end users, with the assurance of Samsung’s defense-grade mobile
security platform protecting the devices from hardware through
software layers.
Tyler is currently working with Samsung to develop wearable
smart device applications that will integrate with New World™
public safety software. This initial wearable device will be
available on the Samsung Gear S3, which is Samsung’s newest
smartwatch and is compatible with most Android smartphones.
Providing a wearable device helps improve access to
mission-critical information for first responders without adding to
the bulk of the devices they are already required to carry.
“This collaboration is a perfect fit for Tyler’s New World
public safety solution as we aim to provide best-in-class software
for first responders,” said Brian Leary, Tyler’s vice president of
software strategy and development for New World. “The Samsung Gear
S3 is just the start of the innovative plans we have with Samsung,
and we look forward to providing additional benefits to our current
and future clients.”
This wearable technology will add to the product offerings
available in Tyler’s New World public safety solution, which
provides mission-critical information to dispatchers and first
responders to increase the safety of users and the public. Current
solutions include fully-integrated computer aided dispatch (CAD),
law enforcement records management, mobile and field reporting,
corrections, analytics, fire and EMS solutions. Wearable technology
helps extend the functionality of these solutions and increase
officer safety by enabling hands-free communication in emergency
situations, without the need for a mobile phone nearby or wi-fi
connection.
“Through the Samsung Alliance Program, we work with partners
like Tyler Technologies to create new solutions that combine their
transformative technologies with Samsung’s mobility expertise,"
said Jan Ruderman, senior director, Public Safety, Samsung
Electronics America. “In this instance, we’re bringing the power of
untethered, LTE-enabled mobility with the Samsung Gear S3
smartwatch to public safety agencies, enabling them to modernize
elements of their existing technology systems without a complete
overhaul. It’s a prime example of the value we can bring not only
in cost savings, but also in deeper engagement and empowerment for
the end user.”
In the future, wearable technology will provide significant
improvements in situational awareness and communications as it
senses changes in the field, provides automated alerts, and
provides the field officer with knowledge about the location,
person, or vehicle they’ve come into contact with.
Once the wearables have access to the information in New World
CAD, law enforcement records management, fire records managements,
and jail management software, field officers could use their
smartwatch to:
- Receive alerts to important calls for
service, stolen vehicles, or abducted children
- Notify others of an emergency and
request assistance
- Receive location alerts
- Join a call in progress and keep the
911 center apprised of their status
- Receive alerts about dangerous
situations and officers needing assistance
- Automatically notify others if they are
down or in pursuit
“Tyler’s collaboration with Samsung highlights our commitment to
providing those in public safety with leading technology that helps
enhance the safety of first responders and the communities they’re
proud to serve,” said Greg Sebastian, president of Tyler’s Public
Safety Division.
