Partnership allows public safety agencies opportunity to
solve crimes faster by bringing together live video, and sensor
data from Axon and Fūsus into a single view via both Axon Respond
and Fūsus Real-Time Crime Center
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies,
and Fūsus, the market leader in real-time crime center for public
safety agencies in the U.S., today announced a strategic
partnership to expand the capabilities of Axon Respond and the
Fūsus Real Time Crime Center in the Cloud (RTC3) solution to
provide agencies better real-time operations situational awareness
including streamlined investigative workflows. The partnership will
make it easier and more cost-effective for communities to aggregate
live feeds from public and private cameras, including closed
circuit television (CCTV) cameras, in addition to live video feeds
from Axon Body 3, Axon Fleet 3 and Axon Air connected drones,
creating a unified operational picture for first
responders.
A key challenge facing law enforcement today includes limited
real-time visibility into what is happening in the field,
difficulty sharing the right information with relevant parties, and
the challenge of effectively mobilizing resources and managing
incidents. Axon Respond addresses these challenges by allowing law
enforcement supervisors to utilize location-mapping, including the
location of on-scene officers, escalation alerts and live streaming
to gain real-time visibility into evolving situations and make
calls for back-up as needed.
Now, with this partnership, additional video footage and sensor
data collected by Fūsus' connected systems will seamlessly
integrate with the Axon Respond viewer. In addition, video and
officer location captured by Axon Body 3 and Fleet 3 cameras will
be available in Fūsus' RTC3 Real-Time Crime Center via their cloud
interfaces.
The Fūsus solution makes it simple for communities to break down
existing security information silos by allowing owners of private
security systems to opt-in to providing law enforcement and public
safety agencies with access to live-streaming video and evidence
from public spaces, enhancing the safety of shopping malls,
retailers, educational institutions, office buildings and more.
"Fūsus presents agencies with a unique opportunity to unify all
of their public safety infrastructure like cameras, automatic
license plate readers, automatic vehicle location and other data
sources on a single, technology agnostic platform," says Axon's
General Manager and Senior Vice President of Real-Time Operations,
Ran Mokady. "Our partnership with Fūsus aligns with our vision for
the future of public safety, where agencies and communities can
work together seamlessly to create safer environments for all."
Fūsus aggregates live video, data and sensor feeds from
virtually any source, thereby enhancing situational awareness and
investigative capabilities of law enforcement and public safety
agencies. This partnership will directly complement Axon's
real-time operations offerings, particularly Axon Respond, which
allows agencies to obtain seamless connection to agency-critical
data sources and situational awareness during unfolding incidents.
In connection with the partnership announcement, Axon will be
launching new bidirectional APIs for Axon Respond that allow for
flow of camera and other sensor data. Fūsus will be an inaugural
partner using these APIs in support of the customers and
communities we jointly serve.
"Axon is the perfect strategic partner for Fūsus, as we're both
committed to ensuring everyone gets home safe," says Chris Lindenau, CEO of Fūsus. "Axon has done an
incredible job of creating products that protect life and help
officers to work smarter. We are excited to be joining forces with
Axon to build a wider ecosystem that will tie together critical
real-time investigative and life-saving assets across communities,
to provide significantly enhanced situational awareness and
ultimately, improve public safety."
In connection with the partnership, Axon closed a $21 million non-controlling minority investment
in Fūsus. Fūsus has also committed to collaborating with Axon's
independent AI Ethics Board.
Fūsus will be exhibiting and presenting at Axon's upcoming
Accelerate Conference from May 23-25
in Phoenix, Ariz. For more
