Waltham, MA – August 20, 2025 – U.S. Environmental Rental Corp. today announced the immediate availability of EPA VIPER Direct, a new capability inside the company’s cloud-based Envizor Environmental Data™ platform that pushes real-time field measurements straight to the U.S. EPA’s VIPER (Virtual Incident Preparedness & Response) system — no middleware, cables, or manual uploads required.
“With EPA VIPER Direct we’ve eliminated every step between the sensor and the EPA,” said Jarrod Polidori, President, U.S. Environmental Rental Corp. “Customers can focus on the mission while their data flows automatically, securely and in EPA-approved format.”
How it works:
One-time setup. Permanent peace of mind.
1. Log in to the Envizor Portal.
2. Create an EPA Deployment:
* Name the deployment (e.g., *Ohio River Spill – South Shore*).
* Enter the Identifier Prefix supplied by EPA.
* Add the EPA-issued Sender Name plus user credentials.
* Select the Envizor Field Devices to include from a simple checklist interface.
3. Activate — and you’re done. Every chosen device now streams fully-formatted CAP XML to VIPER in real time.
Key Benefits
* Zero-touch data forwarding – once activated, devices continue to publish automatically, even after power cycles.
* Standards-compliant – Envizor handles CAP 1.1 packaging, HTTPS POST, authentication, and EPA naming rules.
* Instant situational awareness – responders and regulators see the same live map, charts, and alarms.
* Security first – data are encrypted end-to-end: from the device through to the EPA, all traffic is encrypted. Device data travels over our direct-to-Verizon Virtual Private Network, with no public exposure through the entire data path.
Availability
EPA VIPER Direct is live today for all Envizor users in North America running firmware Envizor MV1 devices, version 2.3.2.25 or later. Existing customers simply sign in to the Envizor Portal to start an EPA Deployment. A step-by-step guide is available in the Knowledge Base.
