EVERYWHERE Case Studies
CASE STUDY: AID
Search & Rescue
AT A GLANCE
Search and rescue teams operated across remote national parks in rugged terrain with limited connectivity, requiring real-time coordination during a missing hiker response.
CHALLENGES
• Inconsistent and unreliable communication in remote,rugged environments
• Limited real-time visibility into responder locations across dispersed teams
• Coordination constraints due to disconnected tools between field and command
Delayed decision-making caused by fragmented information and manual check-ins
SOLUTIONS
EVERYWHERE, integrated with CalTopo, enabled unified, real-time communication and coordination across search and rescue operations. Teams used automated check-ins, location tracking, and secure messaging to maintain visibility and coordinate efforts through a single operating picture.
BENEFITS
1. Unified Communication Platform
Integrate satellite devices, mobile devices, and secure applications into a common operating picture that turns data into foresight. Anticipate risk, coordinate operations, and enable faster, more informed decision-making through real-time data
2. Enhanced Situational Awareness
Reduce risk and enable faster, more informed decisions with an intuitive interface and simplified workflows that provide clear awareness of environmental and situational threats, enabling proactive alerts and communication
3. Faster, More Informed Decision-Making
Centralize access to real-time location data, field updates, and operational insights to reduce friction in decision-making. Improve response speed, coordination, and mission effectiveness across teams.
KEY RESULTS
Delivered coordinated, team based tracking across dispersed SAR units
Enhanced situational awareness for incident command and field teams
Accelerated search efforts through real-time visibility and communication
Improved responder safety with continuous automated check-ins
