DENVER, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumen
Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) announced today that its Next Generation
911 platform is the first recipient of Frost & Sullivan's 2021
Enabling Platform Leadership Award in the NG911 market.
The Lumen NG911 platform improves the delivery of emergency
calls and enables residents to contact 911 not only by making a
voice call—it also lays the foundation for pictures and videos in
the future. Data and technology are driving changes inside public
safety agencies. As new data brings new benefits to first
responders and the communities they serve, having a secure,
reliable and integrated NG911 platform ensures public safety
applications can access the data they need to help make communities
safer.
In announcing the award, Frost & Sullivan emphasizes that
Lumen takes an integrated platform approach to enable solutions
that optimize data management, enhance incidence intelligence,
accelerate emergency response times and drive increased Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) productivity.
"We know when someone calls 911, seconds count. We are proud to
be one of the few 911 network providers who can enable PSAPs to
fully leverage those seconds and minutes in real time and serve
citizens and first responders when they need it most," said
Sonia Ramsey, Lumen vice president
for the state and local government and education market. "We are
committed to innovation and to helping communities and government
agencies achieve their public safety goals."
"New technologies have fundamentally changed the way we live,
communicate, and interact, ushering in an array of new requirements
and opportunities for public safety entities. In this environment,
Lumen has developed a visionary platform designed for the next
generation of public safety" said Frost & Sullivan's vice
president of mobile and wireless solutions Brent Iadarola. "Frost & Sullivan believes
Lumen's unique platform-centric approach to NG911 provides a robust
foundation to support innovative applications and compelling future
use cases. With its strong overall commitment to innovation and
creativity in public safety, Lumen earns Frost & Sullivan's
2021 Enabling Platform Leadership Award in the NG911 market."
Lumen's NG911 platform meets all national i3 standards
established by the National Emergency Number
Association and serves as a model for NG911 systems used by
states, counties, cities, towns and military bases around the
country.
The company's NG911 platform is powered by Lumen's tier 1,
carrier-class, public safety grade network that links together
emergency call routing intelligence, public safety applications and
network management services. Lumen's network architecture also
positions customers to take advantage of additional benefits from
NG911 systems that are expected to evolve over time.
