Everyone! We strongly believe for the R2 Network to succeed we need equal and diverse access across the entire public safety community. The Portal was built primarily for the following:

• Innovators of Public Safety Technology – In 2016
• First Responders – People who put their lives on the line to protect our communities deserve the best technology available.
• Corporations and Service Providers – Voters .
• Associations, organizations, and non-profits – Voters .
• The Federal government and the international community – Much of the challenges faced by the public safety community here in the US are shared around the globe.
• Investors – Find new investment opportunities and support the growth of vital civic infrastructure.

The R2 Portal is free for all users. We are currently exploring premium features to be introduced in the future to help keep the network self-sustaining following the 3-year grant period.

The R2 Network is backed by public-private partnerships with equal representation from critical stakeholders within the public safety innovation ecosystem. With the State of New Hampshire serving as a key strategic partner and collaborator, our diverse team will form a national, free-to-use and self-sustaining platform. Together, serving one common goal, this partnership will support innovators and agencies in empowering first responders with the tools and technologies they need to stay safe and protect our communities.
