Upgraded 911 Unified Command Center technology to boost PH's emergency response efforts, says DILG

Posted on Jan 23, 2026

The Unified 911 Command Center will soon be equipped with an upgraded communication software system that will provide first responders with state-of-the-art tools as envisioned by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Called the Unified Platform for Communications & Dispatch (UPCAD), the system features a field-proven dispatch console designed to meet the demands of a high-pressure public safety environment. It is complemented by robust smartphones, feature phones, and tablets for first responders, all built to meet high durability standards for industrial and mission-critical use.
