Shared situational awareness

Equip operators at the edge with the same situational awareness (SA) as the command center, enabling continuous and informed decision-making in the field. Somewear provides comprehensive situational awareness that encompasses all assets—from personnel and vehicles to aircraft and unmanned aerial systems (UAS)—to empower your team to maintain complete control and ensure every operation is executed with precision and safety.

Bring your device to our network

Integrate your existing communications stack into our network to ensure data is packaged, optimized, and routed efficiently and effectively across teams. Bridge the gap between federal, state, and local agencies and establish interoperable communications for a more effective and coordinated response.

Track. Communicate. Protect.

Firefighter accountability

Our lightweight, body-worn or vehicle-mounted networking solutions allow operators to reliably transmit Position Location Information (PLI) to other operators and back to the command center through our software defined network. Maximize operator safety, decrease response times, and deploy supporting resources with pin-point location data.

We’ve made it our business to make an impact

Josh Wilkins | Fire Captain, SBCFD

After 27 years of service, I’ve seen the critical importance of real-time actionable intelligence and accountability in emergency management. Somewear has been a game-changer for our team, providing continuous situational awareness, enhancing response and decision-making in high-pressure situations.

“The platforms’ ability to autonomously leverage the path (cell, wifi, or satellite) of least resistance (smart routing) has streamlined operations and maximized our confidence to send and receive critical data in any environment.”
