TRX Systems Provides 3D Location for DHS OpEx in Houston, TX

12/21/2018

TRX delivered seamless, 3D personnel tracking at the DHS S&T NGFR - Harris County OpEx that took place December 4-5th at the Port of Houston in Texas. The two-day OpEx demonstrated how an integration of a select group of emergency response technologies could improve coordinated emergency response during a simulated HAZMAT scenario that included federal, state, and local public safety agencies. DHS S&T chose Houston-area partners for the OpEx because urban areas response agencies have significant collaboration and information-sharing needs. As of 2016, 81.7 percent of Americans live in urban areas, and urban responders have different technology needs and budgets than those in rural areas.

NEON 10 Enhances 3D Mapping and Indoor Location within Complex Buildings

7/25/2018

Today, TRX announced the release of NEON 10, the newest version of TRX’s industry-leading 3D location and mapping solution. NEON 10 delivers unparalleled signal and sensor mapping as well as real time personnel tracking in even the most complex buildings where accurate personnel location data is often most needed to deliver safety and ensure operational effectiveness of military, public safety and industrial personnel.

For the first time, NEON 10 users can easily create their own 3D maps and ubiquitously track personnel in complex structures such as transit centers, parking garages, interconnected buildings, and subways. NEON’s patented algorithms uniquely enable the use of building structural features and learned RF data to be used as navigation points that improve tracking accuracy. With the release of NEON 10, structural features can now be added to enhance navigation accuracy without ever visiting the building.

New capabilities of NEON 10 include the ability to rapidly create and visualize building structural features such as stairs, elevators, entrances, and ramps; NEON 10 uses these structural features to improve geolocation of personnel operating in these GPS-denied environments. The full press release on the NEON 10 release can be found here.

FirstNet, Indoor Location Innovation Highlighted at 2018 NIST Public Safety Broadband Stakeholder Meeting
