ABOUT BEACON

Beacon is a text message-based emergency dispatch platform for emergency responders and agencies that need better communications.

Designed by Trek Medics International, Beacon makes emergency dispatch possible anywhere there’s a mobile phone signal by relaying requests for emergency assistance as text messages to the nearest trained responders — with or without internet on any mobile phone. Beacon works as a wireless emergency alert system and automates the dispatching process by guiding the nearest available emergency care providers to quickly locate, treat, and transport emergency victims to healthcare facilities.The Beacon mobile app improves upon the Beacon SMS module by providing an upgraded experience for smartphone users, including:

• Graphic user interface

• Interactive incident maps

• Group chat

• GPS location services

• Multiple languages

• Workflows for EMS and Fire

• Individual performance reports

WHY BEACON?
