This equipment package receives Mayday messages and security alarms, determines an appropriate response, and either uses internal resources or contacts a local agency to provide that response. The nature of the emergency is determined based on the information in the mayday or alarm message as well as other inputs. This package effectively serves as an interface between automated mobile mayday systems and alarm systems and the local public safety answering point for messages which require a public safety response. This equipment package represents the general security services provided by telematics service providers as well as more specific services that focus on commercial vehicle safety and security.
