Emergency Call App for Copenhagen Citizens

This agreement grew from an existing relationship between Intergraph and the National Survey and Cadastre (KMS) that use Intergraph’s geospatial software for map and cadastre production and Copenhagen Fire Brigade that use Intergraph’s geospatial software to locate 112 callers.

Until now, 112 calls from mobile devices could identify only a rough location of the applicable cell tower – typically within several 100 metres. The new app will be able to locate the caller within a few metres, with no need for a nearby street name.

The mobile app serves as a supplement to traditional 112 calling and positions Intergraph as a frontrunner in the mobile GIS market.

Financing the effort is TrygFonden, a national foundation that supports and promotes life-saving initiatives.
