Carbyne
Carbyne modernizes 911 emergency response with real-time video, location, and data integration.
Carbyne provides cloud-based Next Generation 911 (NG911) solutions that modernize emergency communication by enabling real-time transmission of rich data—including video, location, chat, and audio translation—from callers to public safety answering points (PSAPs). The platform serves emergency services agencies across 23+ U.S. states and multiple countries, helping first responders access critical situational information before arrival on scene. Carbyne claims to reduce emergency response times by up to 65% on average through its unified data delivery system, which works both via a mobile app and an app-free web-based option.
Problem solved
First responders lack critical situational information (location, video, real-time context) during emergency responses, leading to delayed response times and inefficient resource allocation.
Target customer
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), municipal emergency services departments, emergency dispatch centers, and fire/police agencies in North America, Latin America, and Israel.

Competitors
RapidSOS
Offers alternative emergency data integration platform; differs in architecture and specific feature set but operates in the same NG911 space.
Everbridge
Broader critical communications platform covering mass notification and incident management; less specialized in real-time video-to-911 functionality.
Motorola Solutions VESTA
Legacy-focused CAD and dispatch system; lacks modern cloud-native rich data capabilities that Carbyne emphasizes.
Why this matters: Carbyne has secured $227M in funding from top-tier investors including AT&T, Cox Enterprises, and former CIA Director David Petraeus, validating the mission-critical 911 modernization market. The company's deployment across 23+ U.S. states and multi-country footprint demonstrates significant traction in public safety, a traditionally conservative sector where adoption signals strong product-market fit.
Best for: Emergency services departments and PSAPs seeking to modernize 911 operations with real-time video, location, and data capabilities to improve first responder efficiency and reduce emergency response times.
Use cases
Active Shooter Emergency Response
A 911 dispatcher receives a call from a building occupant during an active shooter situation. Through Carbyne's platform, the dispatcher simultaneously receives the caller's video feed showing suspect location and direction of fire, precise GPS coordinates of the caller, and live audio. First responders receive this tactical information en route, allowing them to respond with situational awareness rather than arriving blind.
Traffic Accident Coordination
A motorist reports a multi-vehicle collision on a highway. Carbyne's app automatically transmits video of the accident scene, the exact coordinates, and real-time traffic context to the dispatch center. Paramedics and fire departments can assess severity before arrival and pre-position resources optimally, reducing response time by up to 65%.
Welfare Check Without App Installation
A family member calls 911 requesting a welfare check on an elderly parent. The dispatcher texts a pre-generated Carbyne URL to the caller's phone. When clicked, it activates the smartphone camera and location sharing without requiring any app download, providing the responding officer with visual confirmation of the person's location and condition before they arrive.
Alternatives
RapidSOS
Similar NG911 data delivery platform; choose RapidSOS if your agency prioritizes integration with existing CAD systems over unified platform features.
Everbridge
Broader critical communications suite including mass notification; choose Everbridge if you need integrated incident management beyond just emergency dispatch.
In-house CAD Systems
Legacy on-premises solutions; choose in-house systems only if you lack cloud infrastructure readiness or have significant legacy integration constraints.
