Rosum Teams with Intrado Partner to Rollout Reference
TMCnet Contributing Editor
VoIP E911 technology provider Intrado announced Wednesday that it has partnered with Rosum, a location technology provider for the public safety market. The companies joined forces to rollout Rosum's reference network across the Northeast Corridor of the United States.
The rollout served to extend Rosum's geographical footprint, which will now offer the company's customers contiguous coverage from the National Capitol Region to New Hampshire, enabling extended support of automotive and nomadic apps.
"We have expanded our coverage footprint in the key population and commercial centers of the Northeast Corridor to more broadly support our current public safety customers. This is also a major milestone in our expansion towards a national coverage footprint to deliver the most reliable automatic VoIP E9-1-1 solution in the market today. Our alliance with Intrado ( News - Alert) allows us to concentrate on our core business of developing reliable, accurate location technology, while leveraging Intrado's expertise in designing and managing public safety class networks," said Rosum's CEO Skip Speaks in a statement.
Rosum also announced today that its location technology operates with Intrado's V9-1-1 services for full end-to-end 9-1-1 call delivery capabilities.
"As Intrado looks at available automatic location determination alternatives, Rosum's solution holds merit for mobile 9-1-1 calls placed indoors and urban canyon environments," stated Intrado cofounder and CTO Stephen Meer. "Rosum provides an essential piece of the solution required to remove the need for subscriber self provisioning."
Intrado made news last month when it teamed up with CounterPath to develop a new functionality within CounterPath's softphone which supports automatic location identification on mobile VoIP 9-1-1 calls.
The deal would allow CounterPath's softphone to integrate directly with Intrado's systems in order to automatically detect and send location info whenever a 9-1-1 call is made from a wireless VoIP device. This will direct the calls to the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP), so that emergency operators are able to link the caller’s current physical location with the phone number used to dial for help.
