Business Wire
April 29, 2021-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:
CMTL), a world leader in secure wireless communications
technologies, announced today, that during its third quarter of
fiscal 2021, Comtech Solacom Technologies, Inc., a division of
Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, was awarded a Next
Generation 911 (“NG911”) services contract to provide its Guardian
call management solution to the Toronto Paramedic Services, the
largest municipal paramedic service in Canada. The Toronto
Paramedic Services is Comtech Solacom’s latest customer in that
region, joining the Toronto Police Services which also recently
awarded a contract to Comtech Solacom. The new system award,
including multiple optional years of support, is worth $1.6
million.
The public safety answering points (“PSAPs”) will receive
Guardian Intelligent Workstations (“IWS”), which are powerful NG911
call taking positions designed to maximize the effectiveness of
call taking. The intuitive user interface allows Call Takers to
quickly assess, prioritize and handle landline, wireless and VoIP
calls. Call Takers can quickly create multi-party conferences,
transfer calls, determine the location of callers and play back
recently recorded conversations. The Guardian IWS is also
engineered to be future proof so that next generation capabilities
such as exchanging video, images and data with specially trained
staff, can be supported once they become available to the public.
In addition, the system is designed according to industry standards
and the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication (“CRTC”)
Next Generation 911 directives.
“We’re delighted to be working with the City of Toronto again as
we deploy a full turnkey next generation Guardian call handling
solution to the Toronto Paramedic Services,” said Fred Kornberg,
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. “Guardian’s geo-diverse system will
deliver a robust and scalable system in a technological environment
that demands high availability and reliability.”
