The Monitoring Association Unveils Innovations to the ASAP Service to Revolutionize 911 Emergency Response

Published

on

The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced it has signed a multi-year managed services agreement with Mission Critical Partners (MCP) to power the growth of TMA’s Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) Service.

MCLEAN, Va. , June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Monitoring Association (TMA), the non-profit trade association representing the professional monitoring industry, announced it has signed a multi-year managed services agreement with Mission Critical Partners (MCP) to power the growth of TMA’s Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) Service. This award was made after a competitive procurement process.

MCP was chosen for its strong reputation throughout the 911 community and the trust it has earned by successfully completing thousands of projects in 911 centers nationwide.

ASAP is the industry-leading, standards-based service for the digital dispatch of alarm events to 911 centers. Since its introduction in 2011, ASAP has been helping public safety agencies reduce the time to dispatch first responders by an average of two minutes, enabling faster and more informed response for improved outcomes, saving lives and property. ASAP has the largest adoption rate in the industry, with over 80 percent of the alarm systems in the United States monitored by an alarm company connected to the ASAP Service.

TMA’s partnership with MCP will supercharge the rollout of the ASAP Service and drive the development of ASAP’s next-generation, cloud-based solution. The next-generation solution will allow for the real-time sharing of rich data, including camera video streams, live location, health information, photos, and interior blueprints, dramatically improving situational awareness for emergency responders.

The ASAP Service, developed collaboratively with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International (APCO), already enjoys widespread support across the 911 community. The solution is deployed in 911 centers in 23 states and the District of Columbia, covering a population exceeding 54.5 million.

According to TMA President Steve Butkovich, MCP is ideally suited for this initiative because of its subject-matter expertise and knowledge of the challenges and opportunities in the 911 community.

“MCP was chosen for its strong reputation throughout the 911 community and the trust it has earned by successfully completing thousands of projects in 911 centers nationwide,” Butkovich said. “Their team of professionals will bring unparalleled technological, operational, information technology, cybersecurity, and data-integration expertise, driven by a vendor-neutral approach, to this important initiative.”

“The ASAP service offers significant benefits to monitoring companies and 9-1-1 emergency communications centers by streamlining alarm notification processing,” said Mel Maier, CEO and Executive Director of APCO International. “Automating alarm workflows through ASAP significantly reduces response times and manual intervention, ultimately enhancing public safety response.”

“TMA and MCP share a mission to improve emergency-response outcomes, which is why this collaboration makes perfect sense,” said Darrin Reilly, MCP’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re excited for the opportunity to help TMA expand the reach of its ASAP Service, and moreover, committed to the release of advanced features and functionality that will further enhance its performance and life-saving benefits.”

Envision Announces Strategic Collaboration with Brazil to Power Green Oil Strategy with Net-Zero Industrial Park

Published

By

BEIJING, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, today announced a strategic collaboration with Brazilian government during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s official visit to China. In the meeting between President Lula and Envision’s Chairman Lei Zhang, the two leaders exchanged views on Brazil’s green energy transition, the development of Net-Zero Industrial Parks, and  joint efforts on key technologies including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green hydrogen and ammonia.

Envision will develop Latin America’s first Net-Zero Industrial Park in Brazil. Anchored by the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the park will establish a complete green fuel value chain while advancing the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia. By leveraging Envision’s renewable energy systems, the park aims to establish a “green oil” ecosystem and accelerate Brazil’s green industrial  transition.

Lei Zhang, Chairman of Envision, said: “Brazil is crucial to the global green transition of human society. It is poised to become the world’s most significant green oil production hub, as it possesses both abundant biomass and renewable electricity needed for green oil production. Envision is driving the advancement of cost competitiveness of green oil through technological innovation. Leveraging our pioneering Net-Zero Industrial Park model, we have built the world’s largest and most cost-effective green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. We are committed to putting the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind into action, leveraging China’s new energy innovations to bring a new global prosperity.”

As the inventor of the Net-Zero Industrial Park model, Envision’s first-of-its-kind park, developed in partnership with the city of Ordos, has been recognized for several consecutive years as a leading example in the World Transitioning Industrial Clusters Report released by World Economic Forum. Building on this success, Envision is now scaling the model across diverse regions, including Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Spain, tailoring each park to local resources and industrial strengths.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, announced that DENSO Manufacturing Athens Tennessee, Inc. (DMAT), has donated $9,000 to local high schools, giving each $1,000 to support their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs.

Lenoir City High SchoolMeigs County High SchoolMcMinn Central High SchoolMcMinn County High SchoolPolk County High SchoolSequoyah High SchoolSweetwater High SchoolTellico Plains High SchoolWalker Valley High School

As one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, DENSO strives to foster a work environment that prioritizes safety, collaboration and quality.

Last year, as part of DMAT’s continuous efforts to improve metrics in those focus areas, the location launched a friendly competition among internal teams. It centered on a simple idea: the better your group performed, the more your group could raise up to $1,000 for local high school STEM programs.

Motivated to deliver for each other and local students, each team hit their key metrics by the conclusion of the year-long competition this spring. As a result, DMAT awarded the full donation amounts to the recipient schools on behalf of its employees.

“This competition represents the best of DENSO – our teams working together to not only continuously improve, but also support the communities where we live and work,” said Steven Hayes, director of Manufacturing at DMAT. “We are grateful to channel the success of the project into a positive outcome for local schools and do our small part in contributing to technical education. These schools, and their STEM programs, are vital to preparing future innovators.” 

DENSO is always looking for ways to give back to the places it calls home, including in and around Athens. DMAT is a supporter of the United Way of McMinn and Meigs County, The East Tennessee Japanese School, Adopt-A-School programs, and other local initiatives.

DMAT has produced leading powertrain parts and systems in Athens for more than 20 years. In October 2024, DENSO announced a $100 million expansion at the location that would enhance its ability to produce a wider range of solutions, such as DENSO’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) product.
