Interoperable Communication Doesn’t Have to be Hard

Secure Interoperable Communication with Agencies in Your Area – with Complete Control and No Added CostAtHoc Connect empowers you to create a secure permission-

based network, enabling interoperable crisis communication.

You can discover and invite other organizations to be part of

your network and accept invitations to join the networks of

others. You choose who receives your messages and alerts,

whose notifications you receive and how you want to further

share this information. As the emergency manager, you gain

situational awareness and control the forwarding of messages

across your own organization. You have full end-to-end control

of your communication.

Share Critical Information with Greater EaseNo longer do you have to find contact information that may

be out of date, dial a phone and get a busy signal or send a

broadcast message that you don’t know was heard. Now you

can push information to your selected networked organizations

with a single click, while information from your networked

organizations is instantly pushed to you.

You don’t need to spend time during or after an event recording

notes to comply with regulations. AtHoc Connect archives the

communication streams for you, so you can focus on your

mission, not paperwork.

The benefits of real-time sharing:

• Gain situational awareness• Speed response times• Sharpen decision-making• Coordinate interagency

responses

Join the Leaders in Crisis Communication

AtHoc helps safeguard millions of people and thousands of organizations, including leading corporations, healthcare

institutions and the vast majority of US military and federal agencies – from TSA and CBP to CDC and FDA. A key part of

AtHoc’s comprehensive protection: true interoperability, which empowers the connected community to more effectively

manage crisis events.

AtHoc Connect is a secure network that enables

interoperability between federal government, military,

state, and commercial organizations to ensure real-time

information sharing and coordination when it matters

most.

When an emergency strikes, responders need to communicate

with other agencies seamlessly, without the need of any special

equipment or expensive technology. While communication is

reliable inside most organizations, interoperable communication

is not – and that makes response efforts hard to coordinate.

Responses to events as varied as the LAX shootings

and Hurricane Sandy were delayed due to an inability to

communicate between organizations.

The need for interoperability is critical and required for many

agencies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the

Department of Defense (DoD), legislative bodies and many

state and local organizations recognize the importance of

interoperable communication. Legislation has been introduced

to help create agency-wide standards, including the DHS

Interoperable Communications Act, H.R. 615, and H.R. 2206,

the State Wide Interoperable Communications Enhancement

Act. And now, AtHoc is contributing to seamless interoperable

communication with AtHoc Connect.
