EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Balboa Geolocation is pleased to announce it will exhibit and demonstrate its groundbreaking POINTER technology at FDIC International 2025 conference in Indianapolis April 10–12, 2025.
Balboa Geo will showcase POINTER at the Panasonic booth #533, featuring Panasonic's Toughbook as an integral part of POINTER's ruggedized hardware solution.
Additionally, POINTER will be featured in dedicated breakout sessions hosted by Motorola Solutions, attended by fire service professionals, public safety leaders, and technology stakeholders.
"We are excited to exhibit POINTER at FDIC International in collaboration with Panasonic and Motorola Solutions," said Joseph A. Boystak, CEO of Balboa Geo. "Both companies have a deep and long-standing commitment to public safety and provide outstanding technologies for mission critical use in the field by first responders worldwide. POINTER is mission critical. It is an easily and rapidly deployable real-time location and tracking technology solution designed to improve safety, workflows, and accountability for first responders operating at the fire ground and other challenging environments."
POINTER's patented, game-changing technology enables high precision, 3-D tracking ("XYZ" axis) of first responders in GPS-denied, degraded, and disrupted environments—including indoor, subterranean, and underwater settings. Its AI-enabled software platform, POINTERxyz, delivers intuitive visualization for real-time tracking and location of first responders and decision support for incident commanders. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) is highly configurable to monitor key performance metrics for individual users, enhance the concept of operations and enable post-events analytics. POINTER data is fully interoperable and can be seamlessly integrated into third-party platforms, other software applications, or incident command systems.
"Real-time tracking and locating of first responders at the fire ground remains the #1 unmet need in the U.S. and globally. POINTER's unique capabilities will transform situational awareness and safety for first responders helping to save lives, resources and high value assets", said Greg D. Price, Chair of Balboa Geo's First Responder Advisory Board and former Head of Rapid Technology Development for First Responder Resource Group at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate.
Designed as "dual-use" technology, POINTER is slated for commercial release in 2025, targeting public safety, defense, and commercial markets.
