Insta ResponseTM product family as a basis for ERICA
The ERICA project was initiated in 2011. The system's primary environment are emergency response centers where call-takers handle emergency calls and subsequent tasks. A control room typically has a few dozen workstations that are also used to monitor and manage the control room’s activities. Tasks can be transferred from emergency response centers to the command and control centers of various safety and security authorities.
Insta DefSec develops the system in very close collaboration with all authorities in the 112 chain, using the Insta Response™ product family as the basis. After commissioning, Insta will provide the ERICA system as a service for the Emergency Response Centre Administration and the collaborating authorities.
