Enterprise Mobility Solutions business of Motorola partners with Intrado(Corporate IT Update Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business of wireless and broadband communications company Motorola Inc (NYSE:MOT) announced on Friday an alliance with 9-1-1 technology solutions provider Intrado Inc to deliver next-generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) text messaging enabled products and services. No financial details were disclosed. Working with mutual public safety customers, Motorola and Intrado will initially focus on a citizen text messaging trial to enable access for individuals who may have speech or hearing disabilities. The result of the trial will help inform how citizen text messages are best integrated as public safety agencies move toward NG9-1-1 services, the company said. For the initial text trial, the interoperability and integration of Motorola's IP based PremierOne CAD and Intrado's A9-1-1 equipment and technology will be achieved using the ATIS (Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions) Emergency Services Messaging Interface (ESMI) standard. The companies support the need for NG9-1-1 standards. As future NG9-1-1 standards evolve and are approved by industry-recognised standards organisations, trial solutions supporting these standards will be considered.
