GeoComm tested GeoLynx Spatial Router at NG9-1-1 Industry
Collaboration Event
St. Cloud, MN: GeoComm recently tested their new GeoLynx Spatial
Router NG9-1-1 Location Validation and Routing software at the inaugural
Next Generation 9-1-1 Industry Collaboration Event (ICE) hosted by NENA
at Texas A&M University’s Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center.
GeoLynx Spatial Router is an IETF 5222 compliant LoST server, providing
the NG9-1-1 Emergency Call Routing Function (ECRF) and Location
Validation Function (LVF) NENA i3 functional elements. GeoLynx Spatial
Router can be used by 9-1-1 Authorities, communications service
providers, and calling devices to determine location based emergency call
routing within local and regional 9-1-1 networks, as well as by LIS
operators for validating location information for 9-1-1.
“GeoComm is excited to have participated in this seminal event. We feel
this, and other similar forums, will be invaluable in helping to establish and
verify the efficacy of the technical standards that will represent the
foundation of Next Generation 9-1-1. In the final analysis, open standards
based technologies will best serve the interests of public safety by
allowing the customer to select the various components in a fashion
consistent with their unique requirements. The days of proprietary
technologies dominating the technical landscape are, and rightfully should
be, numbered’’ Tom Grones, President/CEO.
The multi-day event tested system components for interoperability across
16 leading vendors of NG9-1-1 technology, and validated emerging new
standards and specifications for 9-1-1. This was the first in a series of
similar events planned to address different aspects of NG9-1-1
development and readiness.
