Public Safety

When every second matters, location matters.

InterLife® by Rypplzz is a spatial intelligence platform that provides real-time 3D positioning, including floor-level location, with a confidence level for every position. It integrates with wireless carrier networks and with the NG911, dispatch, and command systems agencies already use.

The Location Gap

An address gets responders to the building. What happens next?

A call comes from a 30-story tower. Dispatch has the address. Crews arrive, but which floor? Which unit or stairwell? Is the caller still there? In high-rises, stairwells, basements, parking structures, tunnels, and dense urban areas where GPS degrades, a single latitude/longitude point often isn't enough to act on.

3D Location

Know where. Including up.

GPS and address-based location can be limited in complex indoor and multi-level environments. InterLife extends spatial awareness into three dimensions, supporting positioning across horizontal and vertical space.

InterLife combines authorized measurements from wireless networks (4G/5G), GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ultra-wideband, device motion and pressure sensors, in-building wireless systems, wearables, and trusted building sensors. When one source drops out, such as GPS indoors, others can continue to support the position.

Situational Awareness

Not just where they are. What's happening around them.

A dot on a map shows a position. Responders also need to know what that position means. InterLife connects location with movement, surroundings, and nearby activity, so everyone works from the same picture.

Zone:
A defined area within a structure, such as a floor, stairwell, or restricted area.
Spatial event:
Activity InterLife detects in relation to a location or zone, such as entering or leaving it.

Responders, Radios, and Drones

Your people and aircraft, in the same picture.

The same 3D spatial model is designed to include responders, vehicles, and drones, not just callers, so command can see who is where, on which floor, how they're moving, and how much to trust each location.

Responder tracking
Position, floor, and movement as responders go from outdoors into stairwells, interiors, and basements, and back out.
Radio correlation
Authorized push-to-talk and P25/LMR identities can be associated with each responder's live location. InterLife is not in the voice path.
Emergency and man-down alerts
Alerts can carry the responder's floor and position.
Team awareness
Which responders are near each other, the caller, or a hazard.
Drone as First Responder
Drone position and flight path shown alongside the incident, caller, and responders.
Airspace awareness
Unknown drones detected by authorized sensors can be tracked and distinguished from friendly aircraft.

How It Works

One shared picture of where people are and what's happening.

InterLife takes location signals from callers, devices, sensors, and responders, and turns them into a shared spatial layer: one common understanding of location, floor, movement, and activity. That layer is shared with the emergency communications, response, and public safety systems you already use, so everyone works from the same picture.
Emergency communicationsRespondersPublic safety applicationsYour teams act

InterLife provides

  • 3D location: building, floor, and position
  • Movement, zones, and spatial events
  • A shared spatial layer across connected systems

Your agency and systems

  • Decide how to act on it
  • Keep your existing workflows and protocols
  • Choose where it's displayed and who sees it

Public Safety Applications

One spatial foundation. Multiple missions.

  • Dispatchers with headsets at workstations in an emergency communications center

    E911 and Emergency Communications

    3D location, floor, movement, and confidence information can provide additional spatial context to NG911 and emergency communications when integrated with compatible systems.

  • Firefighters advancing up a smoky high-rise stairwell

    Fire and Rescue

    Spatial positioning can support awareness of personnel, equipment, and activity within complex structures, including floor-by-floor tracking and location-enriched emergency and man-down alerts.

  • Two police officers coordinating outside a multi-story building at dusk

    Law Enforcement

    Shared location and movement information, associated with authorized radio identities, can support coordinated operations across facilities, campuses, and public spaces.

  • Security staff monitoring a stadium from a venue operations room

    Large Venues and Campuses

    Spatial awareness can help connected security and response systems understand activity across large, complex environments, including unknown drones where authorized sensors are deployed.

  • A security patrol walking the perimeter of a power substation at night

    Critical Infrastructure

    Positioning and spatial context can support awareness of people, equipment, and movement across critical facilities, on the ground and in the airspace above.

  • A public safety drone flying at dusk above a city street with emergency vehicles below

    Drone as First Responder

    Drone position and flight path can be correlated with the incident, caller, and responder locations in one spatial picture.

Commercial Deployment

Ready for real-world environments.

InterLife is commercially available for deployment across complex, multistory environments. Performance can be evaluated against operational requirements, including horizontal and vertical accuracy, correct-floor identification, update speed, indoor/outdoor transitions, positioning confidence, and reliability when GPS or network conditions degrade. Deployment assessments help organizations understand system performance and determine the configuration best suited to their environment.
