Intrado and XTEND Enter into VoIP E9-1-1 Partnership For Enterprise Market; Agreement Helps Enterprises with IP-based PBX Networ

Business Wire
Intrado Inc. (NASDAQ: TRDO), a global provider of integrated data
and telecommunications solutions and a leading provider of VoIP
9-1-1 services, today announced an agreement with XTEND
Communications Corp., a provider of Computer Telephony Integration
(CTI) and Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) systems, to market
VoIP E9-1-1 services. Under terms of the agreement, XTEND
Communications will market Intrado(R) V9-1-1(R) for Enterprise to
large businesses that operate and support their own Internet
Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX) based networks. The
introduction of IP technology in the PBX environment enables
enterprises to support a host of new applications and capabilities,
including providing employees with the flexibility to work in
remote locations or in nomadic environments as well as establishing
branch locations that are networked with a main location for
off-network calling. However, the technology also creates a
challenge in terms of 9-1-1 services as locations and phone numbers
of the 9-1-1 caller can no longer be easily identified when users
switch locations or move away from the enterprise premises.
Furthermore, networking branch locations, which are physically
separated by large distances from the main site, can result in the
inability to get the 9-1-1 call to the correct PSAP. With the
integration of Intrado V9-1-1 for Enterprise and XTEND's Enterprise
Alert solution, critical E9-1-1 support is available to traveling
employees who use a soft phone to access their company's private
network, telecommuters who use company assigned IP phone equipment,
or remote employees who are networked to their employer's main
site. "Until recently, we were able to provide only a limited level
of 9-1-1 services that are required for complex enterprise IP-PBX
environments," said Bill Schwartz, President of XTEND
Communications Corp. "By teaming up with Intrado, we can deploy a
superior 9-1-1 solution to our customers, enabling them to leverage
the full value of their IP-based equipment." This comprehensive
solution manages all aspects of 9-1-1 support, from provisioning
the caller's current location to successfully routing and
delivering the call to the geographically appropriate public safety
answering point (PSAP) assigned to handle the emergency. The
location and callback number can be updated whether the caller is
moving between locations, working remotely or tied to a specific
remote location. "Intrado is pleased to work with XTEND
Communications to bring a cost-effective, single-source E9-1-1
solution to enterprises," said Stephen Meer, Intrado co-founder and
chief technology officer. "Together we can help enterprise
customers address critical employee safety issues within their
IP-based environment." Intrado V9-1-1(R) Services are integral
components of the Intrado(R) Intelligent Emergency Network(TM),
Intrado's next-generation, IP-based emergency communications
services architecture. Intrado developed the Intelligent Emergency
Network in response to the nation's growing demands for enhanced
emergency communications for public safety. The current 9-1-1
infrastructure is challenged not only with its ability to quickly
exploit technological advances but also with the complications and
complexities that the rapid proliferation of new technologies like
Voice over IP present to the existing system. With over two decades
of experience as the steward of the nation's 9-1-1 network, Intrado
has a unique perspective on the design and requirements for the
next generation emergency communications network. The Intrado
Intelligent Emergency Network is a robust and secure technology
framework that bridges the gap between the limitations of the
legacy 9-1-1 system and the expanded capabilities required. The
design incorporates new technology that leverages the improved
efficiencies of an Internet Protocol system, uses open,
ATIS-approved standards, and provides an evolutionary,
non-disruptive deployment model. About Intrado For more than two
