Voip-Pal.Com Inc. ("Voip-Pal", Company) (OTC Pink: VPLM) is
issuing the following statement regarding the state of current
outdated 911 technology in use across North America. Recently
several major media outlets have reported on news stories involving
the tragic loss of life which has highlighted serious and life
threatening problems associated with the outdated 911 system
currently in use across North America. The current system was put
into place decades ago before the advent of modern mobile devices.
Currently 70% of all emergency calls to 9-1-1 are made via mobile
or VoIP telephones and that number continues to rise as the number
of landlines steadily decreases. The major challenge for emergency
response personnel is the ability to accurately trace the call from
a 911 mobile or VoIP caller since wireless telephones are not
linked to a fixed location or address.1 Often mobile phone calls to
9-1-1 are misrouted and an accurate position of the caller cannot
be established. As we have seen recently this can and many times
does lead to the tragic loss of life and property.
Voip-Pal asserts that if implemented, its patented Enhanced 911
technology could solve these problems and prevent the loss of life
associated with mobile and VoIP emergency calls. The Enhanced 911
patent works in conjunction with one of the Company’s other
patents, Routing, Billing and Rating (RBR) to route the 9-1-1 call
to the most geographically proximate Emergency Response Center,
while also allowing the Emergency Response Center to determine the
precise location of the caller by various methods including the
phone’s GPS. This provides Police, Fire and Rescue units the
opportunity to locate the victims more quickly during emergencies
even in the event of a dropped call, when a few seconds can make
the difference between life and death.
Voip-Pal CEO, Emil Malak stated, “We are saddened by recent
tragic events that have transpired and have resulted in loss of
life. Our Enhanced 911 technology was developed with these exact
scenarios in mind in order to properly solve the 9-1-1- calling
challenges that have arisen from the transition from mostly
landline to mostly mobile calling. We are striving to implement our
technology in order to become a part of this important solution.
Our technology cannot save a single life if it is not being
utilized.”
Mr Malak added, “On behalf of the Board of Directors we want to
extend our appreciation to all of our shareholders for their
continued support for what we are doing. I want to assure everyone
that we have been working very diligently to bring our goals to
fruition and complete the monetization of our patents. I believe
our Company is stronger and better positioned now than it has ever
been to finish the job we began in 2003.”
