“Growing Use of Edge Computing in Public Safety”
- Public safety organizations are increasingly adopting edge computing to make faster decisions during emergencies. Instead of sending all the data to the cloud, these systems process information right at the source—like cameras or sensors—which saves precious time.
- This is especially helpful in high-pressure situations like natural disasters or criminal incidents, where every second counts. With edge-enabled IoT devices, first responders can react quickly without delays caused by data transfer. This not only speeds up emergency responses but also ensures better accuracy and coordination on the ground.
- For instance, In March 2025, Motorola Solutions launched the SVX, a multi-functional tool that combines a body camera, speaker mic, and AI assistant called Assist. It helps officers by automating repetitive tasks like entering license plate or ID information, cutting down up to 40% of their reporting workload. This product was tested by 150 people across 32 safety agencies and highlights how AI and edge processing are shaping smarter, faster public safety tools.
