Calls That Matter, Connections That Save
The public safety industry needs reliable 9‑1‑1 products that deliver calls and caller positioning in critical situations. Comtech’s 2G/3G Enhanced 9‑1‑1 (E9‑1‑1) and 4G/VoLTE9‑1‑1™ solutions quickly and accurately route wireless 9‑1‑1 calls to public safety answering points (PSAPs) and deliver the location of wireless 9‑1‑1 callers. These solutions also support PSAP queries to determine the precise location of a wireless 9‑1‑1 caller throughout the entire duration of the call.
Product Details
Comtech’s Wireless E9‑1‑1 solutions support emergency call routing for Long-Term Evolution (LTE), 2G/3G, and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks. They quickly determine the appropriate PSAP to handle each of the calls based on caller location, either returning routing instructions to a carrier or routing the calls to public safety on behalf of the carrier. The 2G/3G E9‑1‑1 and 4G/VoLTE9‑1‑1 solutions also perform precision positioning for each of the callers. Comtech’s solutions support handset-based, network-based, and indoor location methods.
Our Wireless E9‑1‑1 solutions comply with the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO), Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), National Emergency Number Association (NENA), and the latest applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandates, including Wireless Phases 1 and 2.
Industry Compliance
The Wireless E9‑1‑1 solution complies with the NENA 02-010, 02-011, 02-015, 04-001, and 05-001 (J-STD-036 E2) standards.
