Intrado Passes 50 Million Wireless 9-1-1 Call Milestone; Emergency Communications Leader Continues to Demonstrate Technology Rel
August 02 2005 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Intrado Inc. (Nasdaq:TRDO), a global provider of integrated data
and telecommunications solutions, today announced that its wireless
9-1-1 call routing systems have processed more than 50 million
wireless 9-1-1 calls since August 2002, when Intrado deployed its
Mobile Positioning Center (MPC) and Gateway Mobile Location Center
(GMLC). The MPC and GMLC route wireless 9-1-1 calls and provide
critical information to call-takers at public safety answering
points (PSAP) in the United States, as required by the FCC. The
call volume on these two platforms has grown steadily since they
were deployed. Effective delivery of wireless 9-1-1 requires that
the carrier be able to access the nation's dedicated wireline 9-1-1
network and that the call be routed to the nearest or most
appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) based upon the
caller's physical location. This milestone demonstrates that
Intrado's wireless customers are increasingly looking to Intrado to
provide 9-1-1 call routing solutions as well as 9-1-1 network
access as they seek more cost-effective and efficient ways to meet
their 9-1-1 obligations. Intrado provides 9-1-1 services to more
than 55 wireless service providers including most major carriers,
and supports the majority of wireless calls made to 9-1-1 in the
United States. "The growing volume of wireless 9-1-1 calls
illustrates the need for wireless carriers to reliably and cost
effectively meet the 9-1-1 needs of their subscribers," said Steve
Adams, Intrado senior vice president of wireless services delivery.
"Intrado appreciates the confidence shown by our customers in
allowing us to manage more of their 9-1-1 services and helping us
to achieve this significant milestone so quickly." About Intrado
