APX Data founder Paul Martin spent 25+ years in public safety and saw the industry lag in comparison to others when it came to technology adoption and innovation. While emergency services are mandated to collect pre-plans of commercial and public buildings, they lag when it comes to collecting or using data to prepare themselves in advance en-route to an emergency.
Tragic events like the Charleston 9 incident on June 18, 2007, which was the deadliest fire firefighter disaster since the September 11 attacks, enforced the notion that emergency responders had to stop risking their lives by running in blind.
Findings by government committees such as NIST in the United States and DRDC/Public Safety in Canada further concluded that solutions to protect emergency responders and critical infrastructure were urgently needed. Yet technology was lacking, as SmartMobile technology like the iPhone and iPad were only introduced in 2007 and 2010.
Reducing Risk and Saving Lives
Working hand-in-hand with firefighters and academia, APX Data was formed in November 2011 and developed a suite of easy to use, user-driven solutions that help firefighters reduce risk and save lives by providing real-time access to accurate data or information at times of emergency.
APX CityScape solutions are employed in over 100+ cities across North America and are backed by powerful but easy-to-use software and world-class customer support which have helped APX Data achieve their software being 100% user recommended.
