"Swan Island Networks'...goal was to create a system linking public safety agencies. Jennings' engineers discovered Art Botterell's CAP standard, in which they saw a lingua franca of emergency communication. They added mapping, messaging, and security features and set out to license the package to public safety agencies for a fee under the name Connect & Protect. But this plan, seemingly straightforward, included a twist that turned out to be a radical breakthrough."

—Gary Wolf, writing in Wired Magazine
