Gap Wireless to Showcase Latest Drone Technology for Public Safety at Ontario Fire Chiefs Trade Show

MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Gap Wireless, a leading distributor of products and services for the mobile broadband and wireless markets, will highlight the latest in drones and other Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) solutions as an exhibitor at OAFC 2018 in Mississauga May 4-5. OAFC 2018 – the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs Trade Show – is the largest gathering of fire service manufacturers and suppliers in Canada, with more than 250 booths and fire vehicles to be on display at the International Centre.

"The use of drones by fire departments and in other public safety organizations is on the upswing," said Glenn Poulos, Vice President and General Manager at Gap Wireless. "We've seen vastly increased demand since we launched our drone division two years ago, and we continually add products and services to deliver latest technology from top industry vendors to meet public safety needs."

Drones provide a unique, aerial perspective that can help in assessing emergency situations and enable swift and effective response. When equipped with thermal imaging cameras, drones can even help responders see through smoke and underbrush, and aid in locating people.

Vendor partners to be featured at the Gap Wireless OAFC Booth # 1635 will include:

• DJI Enterprise, for which Gap Wireless is an Authorized Distributor, bringing commercial-grade drones to market including its latest collaboration with FLIR Systems the Zenmuse XT2 purpose-built for public safety applications;
• FLIR Systems providing advanced sensing systems including thermal imaging and visible-light imaging systems, measurement and diagnostic systems, and advanced threat detection systems;
• Flyability, providing collision-tolerant Elios drones that can be operated indoors, in complex, cluttered and confined spaces, and in contact with people – for applications where drone use was previously too challenging;
• KSI Data Sciences, enabling near real-time video broadcasting and data management for all types of remote sensors, using a highly secure cloud environment for collaboration and analysis.
