Carbyne, the creators of the multi-award winning public safety ecosystem, and Two-Time Winner of the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has announced a major global rebrand this week on the heels of their game-changing shift in 911 telecommunications.
Carbyne, named Reporty initially, stated that the rebrand was in line with their global outlook and ambition.
“Our telecommunications ecosystem is now available on almost every continent on the planet,” CEO Amir Elichai said “because of this, we wanted a name that conveyed that strength and confidence we have.”
“The public safety community has put its trust in our technology, and they now have a suite of products that convey that.”

The name ‘Carbyne’ came from the periodic element, an element that is one of the strongest in the world, explained Elichai.
“Carbyne projects the strength that our ecosystem provides; it’s a perfect name for a public safety technology.”
“We market-tested in the United States by calling our North American branch Carbyne, and it received an incredibly positive response.”
“Because of this, we knew that our entire global brand had to be called this.”
As well as changing their name, Carbyne renamed the different products in their ecosystem.
“We spent a long time coming up with the new product names,” Elichai said with a laugh “it all came down to the consistency of the new branding, but we know that these are going to be a hit with our clients and the public.”
The rebrand is on the heels of Carbyne’s most significant announcement to date: that citizens no longer need an application to stream video directly to first responders.
“From the very beginning, we knew that an application was always going to be a stop-gap measure.”
“We have spent the past few years trying to overcome the technical challenges of providing the same level of service that our clients expect of us without using a native application,” added Alex Dizengoff, Carbyne’s Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer.
Apps-olutely Not:
Often, to gain the full benefit of IP communications, citizens need to download a third-party app.
For those in crisis situations, they need assistance immediately.
Having to download an app to talk to 911, even if it provides a more accurate location or the ability to stream video, is an almost impossible task.
We knew that it would be nearly impossible to circumvent the hard-wired three digits 911 (or 999, 112, 000, or others) that we know will connect us with first responders.
Carbyne set their Dev team a task: completely overhaul emergency communications so that citizens can stream video direct to 911 without an app.
Carbyne unveiled c-All, their new non-app product in early January, to great excitement in the global public safety community.
“For the first time,” added Dizengoff, “first responders and Call Takers can receive streaming video and instant location from almost any smartphone in the world.”
“Our most significant problem was always going to be muscle-memory, from childhood we are taught to call 911 if we need help.”
“Now, with our c-All service, citizens can call 911, and their call will automatically turn into a state-of-the-art Carbyne call with streaming video and instant location.”
Carbyne’s ecosystem, which won several major awards from the public safety community in 2017, which includes the Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for Best Emergency Response for Fed/State/Local Government, is available in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and is being piloted in several states in the U.S.A.
With the new global branding, a state-of-the-art ecosystem, and a multi-year jump over competitors: 2018 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Carbyne.
