GTC EMS Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS) Program

About

With funding allocated by the Georgia Trauma Commission EMS Committee, the AVLS program provides a system that ensures real-time tracking and communication with 911-contracted ambulances with the goal of improving trauma care. The network supports pre-hospital trauma care and transport to medical facilities by providing the ability to exchange the highest levels of medical information between ambulances and hospitals.

Updated AVLS Customer Service & Sales | Public Safety-Missouri (PSS)

Effective April 27, 2025, the Georgia Trauma Commission will receive sales and customer support for the Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS) from Public Safety -Missouri (PSS). 

"Public Safety Solutions (PSS) was founded in 2012 by public safety professionals seeking 911-centric, real-world solutions. Our team is focused on problem-solving, not merely obtaining the next Purchase Order.   PSS has celebrated years of growth and team and product line expansion with that problem-solving mentality as our foundation. We bring this expertise to our new role in supporting the AVLS for the Georgia Trauma Commission."

For the past thirteen years, we have been dedicated to serving our tenured clients across the United States with 911 communications-centric products and services. We have consistently delivered reliable solutions from two-way radios to rugged computing, cellular connectivity, and station alerting.

Semtech(Sierra Wireless) remains the manufacturer of the gateways we use and continues to host the Airlink Mobility Manager (AMM) portal. This continuity of service ensures that we can continue to track our 911 ambulances throughout the state and provide cellular WiFi connectivity for laptops, tablets, cellphones, and communication-enabled medical devices. The change in resellers for the AVLS should provide highly qualified and faster technical support and expert guidance as we migrate to newer version gateways in the next year.

 If you need technical assistance, please don't hesitate to call PSS directly at 417-459-4040

AVLS Resources

The GA EMS AVLS program equips Georgia ambulances operating as primary 911 Zone Providers with AVLS Wi-Fi to cellular gateways. It provides wireless connectivity to multiple locations for the display of vehicles on map screens.  The mapping system uses the In Motion Technology Airlink Mobility Manager (AMM) hosted by SemTech Sierra Wireless for vehicle position display on agency and State Operations Center (SOC) computers with a secure connection to the internet.

On any given day, approximately 850-1150 911 Contract ambulances equipped with the AVLS are deployed in 152 Counties in Georgia. In addition to fleet management information, these ambulances can instantly transmit Electrocardiogram, video, voice, and digital data. The ambulance also broadcasts its map coordinates to aid in finding them from the air if needed.
