Emergency CallWorx® Proves Interoperability with Fifteen Other Vendors at Inaugural Next Generation 9-1-1 Collaboration Event

Critical Milestone Event Hosted by NENA at Texas A&M University

Madison, AL, November 06, 2009 - Yesterday, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) successfully concluded a three-day event designed for vendors of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system components to test for interoperability with applications, products and systems developed by other vendors in the NG9-1-1 arena. The first of its kind, the inaugural NG9-1-1 Industry Collaboration Event (ICE), hosted by NENA at Texas A&M University's Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center, involved 16 leading suppliers of NG9-1-1 components.

Emergency CallWorx (ECX) successfully proved its ability to send and receive NG9-1-1 calls with geolocation data as well as sending IP-based Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) spills to other CAD systems. "ECX is pleased to participate in such a critical industry test," stated Craig Dollar, founder and CEO of Emergency CallWorx. "Proving that we interoperate, even with competitors' systems in this NG9-1-1 arena, validates both the design of our entire suite of products and our vision of enabling any PSAP, no matter the size, to affordably and easily deploy the appropriate mix of products they require."

ICE planning was led by a steering committee with representatives from all the major stakeholder groups, including vendors, users, leading industry associations, and federal agencies that are active in NG9-1-1. NENA President Craig Whittington, ENP, highlighted the importance of this type of collaboration, observing, "The benefits of NG9-1-1 will be realized by all organizations involved in emergency response, regardless of their size or function. NENA's ICE activities will facilitate increased interoperability and will clearly move us towards widespread deployment of NG9-1-1; for that we appreciate the efforts of these 16 important vendors."
