NextGenWeb recently caught up with Tom McDonald, CEO of BeSafe. BeSafe is a company that creates easy-to-use interactive applications that allow first responders to access immediate and accurate information about K-12 and higher education buildings. BeSafe has created a program that is designed to equip emergency personnel with the information they need when responding to incidents at sites where they frequently have limited prior experience or only partial knowledge about important building details. In this exclusive interview with NextGenWeb, Tom explains that the use of broadband is vital to the application of BeSafe because broadband allows first responders to be provided with real time information regarding building infrastructure, door numbering systems, and live video feeds.. Broadband also allows the responders to have an interactive experience, making them more efficient and prompt when dealing with situations that demand quick reaction. Mr. McDonald clearly states that without broadband, BeSafe would not be as accessible or as effective.
