**Beyond the Launch | Episode 15** **Building the Future of Public Safety with Carbyne (Axon)** How do you modernize one of the world's most mission-critical systems? In Episode 15 of *Beyond the Launch*, host **Ivan Whitaker** sits down with **Amir Elichai**, Founder of **Carbyne** and SVP of Global Strategy following Carbyne's acquisition by **Axon**, for an in-depth conversation about the future of emergency communications. After experiencing firsthand the limitations of emergency response during a personal emergency, Amir set out to build a platform that would fundamentally change how 911 operates. That vision became Carbyne, an AI-native, cloud-based emergency communications platform now serving more than 250 million people worldwide. Together, Ivan and Amir explore what it truly takes to modernize public safety, including cloud-native 911, AI, customer success, technology adoption, and the importance of creating seamless workflows for emergency telecommunicators. The conversation also examines the strategic combination of **Carbyne**, **Prepared**, and **Axon**, and how an end-to-end public safety ecosystem has the potential to reshape emergency response from the first 911 call through dispatch, responder operations, real-time intelligence, evidence management, and beyond. In this episode you'll learn: • How Carbyne was born from a real-life emergency • Why cloud-native emergency communications are transforming 911 • The biggest challenges agencies face during technology implementations • Why customer success is critical after go-live • How AI is changing emergency communications without replacing dispatch professionals • Why leaders should focus on outcomes instead of technology • The future vision for Axon, Carbyne, and Prepared as one integrated public safety platform If you're a 911 leader, PSAP director, emergency communications professional, public safety executive, technology innovator, or government leader looking to understand where the industry is headed, this episode delivers practical insights and strategic perspectives from one of the industry's leading innovators.
