Cincinnati Bell's hosted NG911 service now availableApr 12, 2011 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cincinnati Bell (NYSE:CBB) , a provider of integrated communications solutions, on Monday announced the immediate availability of its Next Generation 911 emergency communication platform (NG911). The company's hosted NG9111 system enables all emergency 911 dispatch centres in the Cincinnati Bell telephone operating area the opportunity to upgrade to a hosted NG911 solution. Cincinnati Bell said that its Internet protocol-based network will allow 911 calls to be transferred seamlessly between emergency call centres within the system and position the dispatch centres to take advantage of the emerging technologies that incorporate today's social media, voice, video and texting. The company's goal is to provide the most advanced and reliable technology so that the 911 call centres may focus their energies on efficiently handling and dispatching emergency service requests. The driving factors for Cincinnati Bell in delivering this new NG911 system are reportedly security, reliability and affordability. The reliability and security of this system is ensured through Cincinnati Bell's two fully redundant and completely separate networks housed in separate Tier 3 data centres that mirror one another and provide delivery to each emergency call centre on the system.
