TRDO Intrado Inc. (MM)

Intrado Inc. (NASDAQ: TRDO), a global provider of integrated data and telecommunications solutions, today announced it has deployed new infrastructure to enable VoIP Service Providers (VSPs) to provide E9-1-1 service for their subscribers throughout New York City. Intrado worked closely with officials from the City of New York and local 9-1-1 service provider Verizon to complete the deployment, which is the first of its kind in the industry and defines a VoIP Positioning Center (VPC) implementation model that can quickly and cost effectively help VSPs meet the FCC's pending deadlines. V9-1-1(SM) Mobility Service, Intrado's VPC offering, allows VoIP providers to seamlessly route their subscribers' 9-1-1 calls into the dedicated wireline E9-1-1 network. This solution is possible because of Intrado's ability to deliver three key requirements for VoIP E9-1-1: -- Instructions on how to route the call and the caller's address to the right public safety answering point (PSAP) -- A series of "meet me" points to facilitate 9-1-1 network access -- Local 9-1-1 selective router connectivity to deliver the call "natively" The New York City deployment marks the beginning of Intrado's rollout of a nationwide, FCC-compliant VoIP E9-1-1 solution. "The deployment of the VoIP E9-1-1 solution in New York City represents a significant milestone in the evolution of 9-1-1, providing VoIP subscribers in New York City with the same level of emergency response as traditional wireline service," said Stephen Meer, Intrado co-founder and chief technology officer. "Efforts are underway at Intrado to deploy the technology that will extend this capability nationwide."
