TRDO Intrado Inc. (MM)

Intrado Inc. (Nasdaq:TRDO), a global provider of integrated data and telecommunications solutions, today announced that it has secured agreements with the major local exchange carriers (LECs) to interconnect with their 9-1-1 selective routers and to steer dynamic location information into their regional E9-1-1 automatic location information (ALI) databases in the event of a VoIP 9-1-1 call. VoIP Service Providers (VSPs) will now be able to deliver E9-1-1 calls originating on their IP network natively from virtually anywhere in the country. VSPs have been mandated by the FCC to provide E9-1-1 service to their VoIP customers. Intrado(R) V9-1-1(SM) Mobility Service provides VSPs with an FCC compliant solution. These interconnection agreements, combined with existing access and steering agreements and Intrado's ability to provide valid 9-1-1 address information, represent a key milestone by making Intrado the first to deliver all of the elements essential to comprehensive VoIP E9-1-1 coverage. Anticipating the need for 9-1-1 support for VoIP calls, Intrado drew upon its extensive 9-1-1 background to develop a solution that addresses essential issues of coverage and efficacy. The interconnection agreements allow Intrado to deliver a VoIP 9-1-1 call directly into the LEC's 9-1-1 selective router and gain access to the dedicated 9-1-1 network. The ALI steering agreements allow the 9-1-1 call takers to receive the caller's location information at the time of a 9-1-1 call. Most importantly, these named agreements allow Intrado's VSP customers and their subscribers to gain full benefit from the V9-1-1 Mobility Service's ability to provide caller location information to the call taker in the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) valid format required for effective emergency dispatch. The delivery of location information to the PSAP in an MSAG valid format ensures integration and accurate emergency response. Intrado is currently the only third party provider to offer this critical component, which is required for an effective VoIP E9-1-1 solution. "Comprehensive E9-1-1 coverage for VoIP consists of interconnection agreements, ALI steering agreements, and the ability to provide caller location information to the 9-1-1 call taker in an MSAG valid format," said Stephen Meer, Intrado chief technology officer and co-founder. "The Intrado VoIP 9-1-1 solution addresses all three points with one provider."
