Airport Enhances Crisis Management with InterTalk's Cloud-Based Emergency Dispatch System at Quad Cities International Airport
Quad Cities International Airport in Moline, Illinois, has recently upgraded its emergency response system with the Enlite Cloud Dispatch system by InterTalk™ Critical Information Systems. This cloud-based dispatch technology is designed to improve coordination, communication speed, and operational flexibility during critical incidents [1][2][3][4].
The system, delivered under a cost-efficient "dispatch-as-a-service" model, minimizes upfront capital costs for the airport. The initial installation at QC Airport will include two operator workstations [1]. With this upgrade, QC Airport's emergency management teams can better coordinate their response to emergencies, leveraging the cloud's reliability and accessibility.
The Enlite platform offers advanced macro capabilities, allowing QC Airport's dispatchers to execute complex sequences of actions with a single button press. For instance, a single push-button macro can trigger automated notifications, text messages, open garage doors, switch camera feeds, and more [1]. This streamlined emergency communication has reduced dispatcher workload and sped up critical response times at QC Airport.
InterTalk Critical Information Systems is a leader in mission-critical dispatch systems, specializing in dispatch console systems for land mobile radio and advanced telephony applications. The company is committed to scalable, mission-critical solutions for modern public safety environments. It is also an ISO 9001- and 27001-certified company [1].
QC Airport serves passengers from western Illinois and eastern Iowa and is home to four major airlines: Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. In addition to commercial flights, charter and fueling services are available at QC Airport. The airport also functions as an International Port of Entry Airport, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection available on site [2].
