Hamburg modernises police and fire operations
The German city is deploying dispatch and data analytics technology from Hexagon to improve emergency response operations as part of a modernisation programme.
The German city of Hamburg has chosen the HxGN OnCall solution from Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division to modernise its emergency dispatch operations and analysis for the city’s fire and police departments.
The modernisation is part of Hamburg’s Perle programme (Programm Erneuerung Leitstellen von Feuerwehr und Polizei) to bring advanced technologies to Germany’s second-largest city.
Faster emergency response
HxGN OnCall Dispatch is being deployed to improve collaboration between fire brigades and police authorities, enabling faster and more efficient emergency response for the city’s 1.8 million residents.
Hamburg also selected the HxGN OnCall Analytics data visualisation and analytics tool. OnCall Analytics will create easy-to-understand reports and performance analyses, enabling the city to better evaluate and optimise the allocation of police and fire brigade resources.

“HxGN OnCall will bring advanced capabilities to Hamburg’s fire and police departments, offering one of the most innovative systems for control centre organisations in Germany”
Hexagon combines sensor, software and autonomous technologies and its Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of critical services and infrastructure.
