EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (September 30, 2015) – Cities and emergency responders now have a new way to deploy gunshot detection technology and will be able to respond to incidents and react faster to protect residents. Current, powered by GE and SST, Inc., developer of the ShotSpotter™ crime detection and location suite, have entered an exclusive agreement to bring the sophisticated ShotSpotter technology into GE’s intelligent LED street lights.
The arrangement adds real-time gunfire detection from ShotSpotter to Current by GE’s Intelligent Cities solution, which features software and sensor-enabled LED lighting powered by Predix™—GE’s cloud-based platform for the Industrial Internet—to help cities realize potential opportunities for reducing cost, optimizing operations and creating value.
