History shows that times of crisis and disruption can stimulate great change and boost innovation. The global pandemic has been no exception. The study’s three key findings highlight a new era in public safety.
The shared global experience of the pandemic has redefined our perspectives on what safety means and how technology can be used to keep us safe.
The pandemic accelerated the development & deployment of technologies that keep people safe, such as cloud-based, video security, interoperable & mission-critical communications solutions.
When people understand & trust the technologies being used & the objectives of safety providers, they’re more willing to accept technology & share their own data to enhance safety.
We interviewed 12,000 citizens and 50 public safety agencies, enterprises and industry experts from around the world to understand how the pandemic fueled the need to use technologies in different ways to address new challenges within a rapidly evolving environment.
