Looking for a smarter, more agile way to manage field operations? Join us for an eye-opening session on TAK CAD, the mobile-first dispatch solution built on the powerful Team Awareness Kit (TAK) platform. Whether you're coordinating disaster response, managing wildland fires, or supporting large-scale public events, TAK CAD delivers real-time situational awareness, geospatial tracking, and mission-critical communication. Perfect for small agencies needing an affordable CAD solution. Scalable for large organizations as a mobile extension of enterprise CAD. Optimized by FirstNet, leveraging QoS, deployables, and sat-to-device capabilities. Discover how TAK CAD is transforming operations across public safety.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will learn how TAK CAD enhances field operations through real-time situational awareness, geospatial tracking, and mission-critical communication capabilities.
Discover use cases where TAK CAD supports disaster response, wildland fire operations, and large-scale events, and compare its value for both small agencies and large organizations
Understand how FirstNet optimization—including QoS, deployables, and sat-to-device—strengthens TAK CAD performance and supports more resilient, agile public safety operations.
