Ekenge is an application designed to facilitate communication and coordination between security actors in the DRC and Africa. It is aimed at both public and private institutions, with a clear objective: to respond quickly to emergencies in an environment often marked by insecurity.
I. Main Features:
1. Geolocation-Based Emergency Alert:
A central feature of the Ekenge application, the alert allows any user—whether an officer, civilian, or member of an organization—to trigger a security alert. This alert is automatically accompanied by the user's GPS location and transmitted to:
- their loved ones or trusted contacts,
- people within a 15 km radius,
- and partner private or public organizations such as security companies, relief NGOs (e.g., the Red Cross), university security units, or local police stations.
This feature is at the heart of Ekenge. It enables rapid action, saving lives, and involving an entire community in incident response.
2. Secure Messaging:
Exchange text, voice, or file messages with encryption. Access is controlled based on user rights.
3. Protected Voice and Video Calls:
Individual or group calls, always secure. Ideal for remote briefings.
4. Announcements and News Feed:
A space to quickly share information, alerts, or instructions, just like on a social network.
5. Real-Time Agent Tracking:
Allows you to see the movements and locations of teams to better coordinate actions in the field.
6. Digital Radio Emulation:
Transforms the application into a digital walkie-talkie. Practical for agents familiar with traditional radios.
7. Integrated Command Center:
An interface that centralizes alerts, communications, and instructions to better manage operations.
8. Geolocation of interventions:
Each intervention is recorded, including the teams' location, duration, and route. Everything is tracked to maintain an overview.
II. Areas of use:
- Armed forces
- National police
- Private security companies
- Airports, ports, train stations
- Embassies, NGOs, international institutions
- Hospitals, prisons, sensitive areas
- Universities, city halls, local security services
Ekenge is a modern and human-centric way to enhance security by connecting the right people, at the right time, in the right place.
