Details
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of voice
networking solutions that enable enterprises and service providers
to transition to all-IP voice networks, today announced that it is
collaborating with RedSky, a leader in E911 solutions, to deliver
enhanced emergency calling for hosted telephony environments. The
integration of AudioCodes' 400HD series IP phones and session
border controllers (SBCs) with RedSky Horizon Mobility™ technology
allows the physical location of a user to be identified in the
event of a 9-1-1 call. The joint solution will be offered initially
for BroadSoft BroadWorks environments.
Horizon Mobility™ is a commercial implementation of the NENA i3
Next Generation 9-1-1 architecture. This technology enables a phone
to request its location when it moves and enables the phone to send
its location when the phone dials 9-1-1. The technology is
SIP-based and it integrates with RedSky's E911 Anywhere® cloud
service which can accept and route 9-1-1 calls to any 9-1-1 center
in the USA and Canada.
The AudioCodes 400HD family of high definition IP phones and its
Mediant session border controller (SBC) products have been
certified for interoperability with BroadSoft BroadWorks,
delivering high voice quality and integrated service assurance for
BroadSoft hosted telephony service users. The collaboration with
RedSky Horizon Mobility™ results in a unified emergency calling
solution that also provides E911 support for analog ports and
non-certified SIP devices.
"RedSky is excited to work with AudioCodes which has done so
much good work to transition enterprises to IP telephony," said
Tony Maier, CEO of RedSky.
"Together, we are delivering the future of E911 mobility tracking
to BroadWorks enterprise customers."
"AudioCodes' support for i3 NG9-1-1 services will assist service
providers with a more consistent approach in addressing emergency
calling identification from a wider range of terminal equipment,"
said Mark Baker, BroadSoft Director
of Business Development. "RedSky's Horizon Mobility™
service's cloud-based approach simplifies emergency call delivery
for service providers leveraging the BroadSoft Business
platform."
"Our longstanding partnership with BroadSoft has already yielded
a broad portfolio of voice solutions for its hosted communications
environments," commented Lior Aldema, AudioCodes' COO and Head of
Global Sales. "The addition of our joint E911 solution with RedSky
is a further milestone in ensuring that enterprises experience a
smooth migration to hosted telephony and unified communications
services."
AudioCodes and RedSky Technologies will be participating at
BroadSoft Connections in Phoenix,
Arizona, October 22-25,
2017:
- AudioCodes, a Platinum Plus sponsor, will be at booth
P1
- RedSky Technologies will be at booth #10
