Emergency response technology is undergoing rapid innovation, with several major developments that will transform systems like the patented technology 8E MEERAS (Multi-Emergency Early Response App System), the brainchild of 8E Tech Group of Companies.

With over 100 years of combined experience in fire, security, and emergency services, 8E Tech Group’s passion led them to create 8E MEERAS – a proud Finalist for LIFE-SAVING SOLUTION OF THE YEAR at the Disasters Expo USA 2023.

PBBM’s Push for Connectivity Sets Stage for Faster Response
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s meetings with SpaceX and plans to collaborate with Starlink signal a new era of connectivity in the Philippines. The $400 million satellite internet project “Agila” will also bring broadband to remote areas.

What does this mean for 8E MEERAS’ award-winning emergency response system? Everything!

Enhanced Capabilities for 8E MEERAS
With expansive satellite coverage from Starlink, 8E MEERAS’ GPS locators and emergency beacons will have boosted accuracy and real-time transmission capabilities. Responders dispatched through the system will benefit from seamless communication, tracking, and navigation, even in remote islands.

Seamless Integration with Modern Tech Infrastructure
The LoraWAN technology underpinning 8E MEERAS will also integrate perfectly with new networks. IoT devices like sensors, detectors, and alerts across cities can interconnect, priming communities for quick, automated emergency response. As President Marcos said, slowed internet won’t just be a thing of the past – it will be replaced by praise for lightning-fast connections. For 8E MEERAS, these technologies unlock the full 60-second response potential imagined by 8E Tech Group.

Unlocking 8E MEERAS’ 60-Second Response Potential
Imagine someone triggers an emergency alert on their mobile device. Within split seconds, responders receive notifications on precise locations. En route, they access real-time updates and critical information shared through the app. Navigation happens accurately, even in difficult terrain. Backup teams monitor progress through state-of-the-art command centers and can deploy additional resources in a snap.

Revolutionizing Emergency Response Nationwide
This 60-second response time will now be achievable at scale across the Philippines. Fast connectivity paves the way for revolutionary 8E MEERAS to supplement and enhance emergency services nationwide such as local 911 emergency centers. With this modern backbone integrating emergency systems countrywide, 8E MEERAS can truly become the life-saving network it’s designed to be.
