As a long-time industry leader in the evolution of emergency dispatch software, PowerPhone is uniquely positioned to usher in this new era of technology while maintaining the high standards associated with Total Response, PowerPhone's proven integrated protocol formula for 911 dispatch operators.

Said PowerPhone President Jerry Turk, "Our Digital Tablets are just the latest step in PowerPhone's long journey of streamlining support for emergency dispatch operations. As industry leaders in 911 dispatcher training and technology, we're proud to bring our intuitive layout and easy-to-follow instructions into the digital age. Years ago, we revolutionized print protocols by putting them all on one paper tablet; today, we're leading the way by offering the same great system on a light-weight easy-to-use digital tablet. Our Digital Tablets also provide significant savings to 911 communications centers with our 3-in-1 Total Response system and with the multiple language capabilities. This will come as a welcome relief to many during this era of frequent dispatch consolidation."

PowerPhone's Digital Tablets can be configured for PowerPhone's Total Response three-service response system, or for individual departments and combinations of police, fire and EMD response protocols. Digital Tablets allow 911 telecommunicators to quickly and efficiently find the appropriate line of questioning based on incident-specific information gathered.
