Ryzyliant EDGE™ Platform
1. What is the Ryzyliant EDGE platform?
The Ryzyliant EDGE platform is a unified, cloud-powered, and edge-enhanced solution designed specifically for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). It seamlessly integrates essential PSAP functions like NextGen 9-1-1 call taking, incident management, GIS mapping, radio dispatch console, and mobile data into a single, streamlined system. This eliminates the need for multiple, siloed systems, simplifying workflows and reducing costs.
2. What is “local survivability,” and why is it important?
Local survivability is the ability of a PSAP to maintain essential functionality even during widespread outages or regional disasters. This is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted emergency response and minimizing reliance on external infrastructure like internet connectivity. By enabling local survivability, Ryzyliant EDGE guarantees continuous operation and maintains public trust and confidence in emergency services.
3. How does Ryzyliant EDGE achieve local survivability?
Ryzyliant EDGE leverages a hybrid cloud approach, combining the power and accessibility of the cloud with on-site edge computing. This means that even if the connection to the central cloud is lost, the system continues to operate.
4. What is Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), and how does it benefit PSAPs?
ZTA is a security model that eliminates implicit trust and continuously verifies every user, device, and application attempting to access resources. It enhances local survivability by enforcing granular access controls, ensuring continuous authentication, and segmenting networks. This comprehensive approach limits the potential impact of security breaches and strengthens overall system security.
5. Is Ryzyliant EDGE affordable for PSAPs of all sizes?
Yes, affordability is a core design principle of the Ryzyliant EDGE platform. By consolidating multiple systems into one unified solution and leveraging cost-effective hardware, Ryzyliant EDGE provides significant cost savings and makes advanced PSAP technology accessible to agencies of all sizes.
6. How does Ryzyliant EDGE improve emergency response times?
By streamlining workflows, eliminating data silos, and providing real-time situational awareness through integrated mapping and mobile data, Ryzyliant EDGE empowers dispatchers to make faster, more informed decisions, leading to quicker response times and improved outcomes in emergency situations.
7. How does Ryzyliant ensure the security of sensitive PSAP data?
Data security is a top priority for Ryzyliant. The EDGE platform is built on a zero-trust security architecture with multiple layers of protection, including device and user identification, end-to-end encryption in transit and at rest, and inventory-based access controls. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information which minimizes the risk of data breaches.
