Radenta, Vantiq launch Aegis for real-time disaster response

Radenta Technologies and real-time artificial intelligence orchestration company Vantiq have launched Aegis, a platform designed to help local government units consolidate disaster, public safety, and emergency-response information from different systems.

The companies said Aegis connects existing technologies such as closed-circuit television cameras, flood sensors, traffic systems, emergency hotlines, databases, social media channels, and agency workflows through a single real-time management platform.

Local governments often collect large volumes of information during emergencies, but the data may remain separated across various offices and systems. This can delay coordination and leave officials relying on incomplete information when responding to floods, road incidents, health alerts, fires, and other emergencies.

“Aegis brings clarity into chaos. Real city resilience is not about adding more sensors and cameras. It is about having real-time management layer that is built for how a specific locality works,” Radenta Technologies President Randall Lozano said.

According to Radenta, the platform is designed to work on top of an LGU’s existing infrastructure instead of requiring the replacement of current cameras, Internet of Things devices, command centers, and databases.

For example, footage showing an incident may be connected with reports from an emergency hotline, social media posts, sensor readings, and agency records. The information can then be presented through real-time dashboards and incident-management workflows to help government offices coordinate their response.

Aegis can be configured for public safety operations, including CCTV monitoring, AI-assisted threat detection, dispatch coordination, and alerts. It may also be used for traffic monitoring, signal management, road incident response, evacuation routing, flood management, and environmental monitoring.

The platform can also support coordination among health facilities, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, disaster-response offices, and barangay officials. Citizen-facing features include automated warnings, multilingual notifications, social media monitoring, and digital incident reporting.

Radenta said local governments do not need to deploy all the platform’s functions at the same time. An LGU may begin with a specific requirement, such as flood monitoring or emergency coordination, before expanding the system to other services.

The company said an initial proof of concept may be completed in about four weeks after the project scope and business requirements are established. A full implementation may take four to five months, depending on the requirements of the locality.

Aegis is also model-agnostic, allowing it to work with different AI systems, including proprietary models and publicly available platforms such as those developed by OpenAI. Radenta said this approach is intended to prevent LGUs from being tied to a single AI provider as the technology continues to develop.

The companies are positioning Aegis as a way for cities and municipalities to improve emergency coordination and make better use of their existing technology investments without undertaking a complete infrastructure overhaul.
