“We are delighted that emergency public service agencies are continuing to choose
Built to withstand natural or man-made disasters and emergency events, the Solacom system provides a high level of multiple redundancies, including geo-diverse configuration with 9-1-1 call taking positions at several locations throughout the State.
Guardian 9-1-1 call taking workstations, already installed at all public safety answering points in the State, will be updated with new hardware and software. The next generation workstations allow Call Takers to quickly assess, prioritize and handle landline, wireless and VoIP calls. The workstations also allow more precise location of 9-1-1 calls on a map for faster and more accurate response.
In addition, new next generation capabilities such as Real-Time-Text, a fast and interactive means of communicating with emergency responders, will especially be advantageous to those with accessibility needs. Real-Time-Text allows a 9-1-1 caller to communicate with a Call Taker simultaneously by voice or by text; characters are transmitted instantly while being typed, allowing a Call Taker to respond in real time, like a voice conversation.
The complete Guardian solution includes a suite of Managed Services that will maintain peak performance and provide ongoing upgrades, virus protection, disaster recovery measures and Management Information Services for data and reporting.
The integrated approach of deploying both an Emergency Services IP Network and next generation public safety answering points is an ideal means to ensure citizens receive the best possible emergency services.
Solacom emergency call handling and management solutions are built on more than 30 years of research and innovation in the application of advanced hardware and software technologies for public safety. For more information, visit: www.solacom.com.
