Ever since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that VoIP service providers (VSPs) must comply with the order of having E911 access up and running by the end of November, the folks at Intrado Inc. have been busier than ever. Indeed, the VoIP E911 system provider announced today that it has partnered with more than 35 VoIP service providers. 
 
Intrado recently partnered with Cordia Corporation, GlobeNet Carrier Services, GlobeTel Communications Corp. and Vonics Digital among others. These companies chose the Intrado V9-1-1 Services to support their plans to comply with the FCC VoIP E911 order.
 
Intrado V9-1-1 Services enables VoIP service providers to meet their 9-1-1 obligations. The system supports the provision of a Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) validated address directly to the 9-1-1 call taker's computer screen via the native 9-1-1 network. The MSAG serves as a municipality's 9-1-1 address database, and is used to determine how to dispatch help to a specific location.
 
"We are pleased that these VSPs have chosen Intrado to provide this essential service to their subscribers," said Stephen Meer, Intrado chief technology officer and co-founder. "VSPs continue to send a clear signal that they understand and value the comprehensive coverage the Intrado V9-1-1 Services provides."
