Software

3n (National Notification Network)

3n's InstaCom GIS enables users to distribute targeted communications to businesses and residences in a designated geographic area. By typing or recording a message, then identifying a target geographic region on a map, subscribers can contact thousands of residents or business owners within the selected region in minutes. InstaCom GIS integrates the 3n notification engine with address-to-phone-directory mapping data that can be uploaded from local telephone companies and intelligent street centerline data from Tele Atlas/TomTom. It then leverages ArcGIS to geographically select an area and dial all the telephone numbers within the specified region.
