directing traffic or emergency responders to the most efficient routes, taking

steps to ensure that pollutants in the air are kept to a minimum are all

examples of the life essential services that we are recognized for and

Notes to editors

AGT International's safe city offering is a central public safety system based on

our UrbanShield platform. It is empowered by advanced analytics to integrate

and analyze the constant stream of data received from different cameras,

sensors and other data sources.

UrbanShield automatically identifies abnormal behaviors, as defined and

configured by system users, creating a single view for decision-makers. It

effectively manages emergency situations and mega-events; improves

efficiency and response times; helps to solve crime more quickly; and aligns all

those in positions of authority. When an incident occurs, UrbanShield provides

pre-determined response procedures and recommendations (e.g., best routes

for evacuees and first responders; and inter-agency collaboration points).

During and following incidents, and even in the absence of an incident,

UrbanShield makes data, video records, LPR detections and other information

readily available to investigators through a simple, shared interface.
