Portfolio co. 3AM Innovations working with T-Mobile to chart new course for public safety

The Western New York Impact Investment Fund invested $750,000 into 3AM Innovations earlier to support the company's international growth spurt.

Now 3AM has a powerful new distribution partner to continue driving its solution to global adoption. The company recently announced it joined forces with T-Mobile to bring mission-critical decision support tools to first responders on the nation’s most advanced 5G network and T-Priority.

The result: a first-of-its-kind solution designed to keep first responders connected in the 5G era of public safety.

“First responders operate in some of the most challenging, high-risk environments imaginable. Often without adequate equipment. 3AM Innovations exists to change that, to deliver the technology they deserve. Technology as fast and as reliable as they are,” 3AM cofounder and CEO Ryan Litt said. “By joining forces with T-Mobile, we’re establishing a new benchmark for public safety technology. Putting comprehensive situational intelligence directly into the hands of those who need it most, when they need it most.”

3AM's FLORIAN system promotes the safety of first responders in emergency situations. The company is headquartered in downtown Buffalo and works with the Orchard Park Fire District, the only full volunteer fire department that serves an NFL team.

3AM's growing list of customers also includes the Philadelphia Fire Department, one of the largest departments in the U.S.
