About Us

Based in Boca Raton, Florida, our team is full of innovators and problem solvers. When we began in 2015, we were focused on developing an aerial platform to distribute live feeds from unmanned and manned aircraft to the multiple locations and command structures that were involved with emergency response. We quickly realized there was a greater need to unify the many disparate networks, video feeds, and systems in use by today’s public safety agencies. We work in an agile environment so we can be responsive to both the marketplace, AND to our customers. People are at the core of our mission and values. The STRAX® Intelligence Group team is committed to understanding customer challenges and providing real-world solutions that improve both responder and community safety.

Our Team

Our team has a diverse background in Public Safety, Solutions and IoT Engineering, Commercial Security, as well as Military Intelligence and Operations and UAS and Aviation.

As part of our professional services, we work with customers and partners to develop and deliver custom device and systems integrations, connectivity, and data link solutions. We are dedicated to understanding customer challenges, but most importantly, partnering to provide targeted solutions. We are committed to your success and supporting you with the most advanced technology available to improve YOUR safety — and the communities that you serve.
