TCS Provides Corr Wireless With E9-1-1 Solution7 September 2005
TeleCommunication Systems (TCS)
(NASDAQ: TSYS), a global leader in mission critical wireless
communications, today announced that Corr Wireless has signed a multi-year
contract for TCS' ALI Link™ service. The contract allows Corr Wireless
to connect to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), irrespective of
Automatic Location Identification (ALI) type, thereby simplifying and
streamlining the PSAP querying process. This contract will supplement the
phase II ALI services previously provided to Corr Wireless by TCS.
An ALI is a database that contains customer location information from the
local service provider which is used in response to 9-1-1 calls. For
wireless calls, the location of the caller is determined as the call is
placed. TCS' ALI Link service dynamically updates the ALI with the
caller's current location information. Further, the TCS ALI Link service
dynamically provides the wireless caller's current location information to
the ALI which supports the PSAP to which the E9-1-1 call has been directed.
In wireless E9-1-1, TCS' ALI Link service provides nationwide connectivity
between wireless carriers who own and utilize an in-network Mobile
Positioning Center or Gateway Mobile Location Center (MPC or GMLC) and all
ALI databases used for E9-1-1. Wireless carriers and other customers using
the ALI Link service can access both regional and Stand Alone ALI (SALI)
databases through a single contact point for both Phase I and Phase II
wireless E9-1-1.
TCS' Integrated ALI functionality uses TCS' implementation of the Emergency
Services Protocol (ESP) to format all position requests it forwards to the
MPC/GMLC. A Carrier's MPC/GMLC only needs to support the ESP protocol when
responding to any request forwarded from an ALI which protocol and
configuration is supported by TCS.
"Corr Wireless values our subscribers' safety," said Bryan Corr, President
of Corr Wireless, "TCS continues to be a reliable source for wireless
E9-1-1 call routing to our company and its subscribers."
TCS E9-1-1 location technology is connected to thousands of PSAPs
throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
These connections link both TCS-hosted and in-carrier network MPC/GMLCs
with every major U.S. Local Exchange Carrier, all national and regional ALI
databases and over 150 SALI databases.
"TCS provides E9-1-1 services that efficiently serve carriers and the PSAP
community," stated Dan Allen, Senior Vice President of Service Bureau
Operations for TeleCommunication Systems. "Corr Wireless has addressed the
personal safety of its subscribers as a top priority, and TCS is pleased to
support them in that regard."
