The City of Portland, Maine found that PageGate was the only product available that fulfilled all of their wireless messaging needs. By installing the PageGate Server on a dedicated machine in City Hall's MIS department, they can easily make global database changes while remaining transparent and functional to Emergency Dispatch staff. Multiple recipient groups allow Fire, Police, EMS, and City Services employees to receive text messages simultaneously on multiple devices — proven especially effective during a windstorm that affected coverage from some wireless carriers.
