Globecomm is introducing a managed E911 Phase II service that leverages Polaris's E911 Phase II software solution for rapidly locating mobile-device users. Globecomm provides range of hosted and managed communications services that leverage its satellite and terrestrial transmission capacity and a network of data center, content management and switching facilities. Globecomm will manage the E911 Phase II service from its network operations center in Hauppauge, N.Y. Polaris software will enable Globecomm GSM and CDMA hosted services customers to meet FCC Phase II requirements for providing real-time, highly precise location data to emergency responders when mobile-device users dial "911." The Polaris solution requires no deployment of additional hardware by Globecomm or its customers; nor do the wireless operators have to make changes to their subscribers' handsets. The Globecomm managed E911 Phase II service will deliver complete network coverage and 100-percent service availability for its customers across their subscriber bases, as well as across 2G and 3G networks. "This is an entirely new and critical distribution model for Polaris, as the partnership will expand our footprint to a much broader set of wireless operators who seek the simplicity and sustainable cost efficiency of Globecomm's value-added managed services," said Bhavin Shah, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Polaris Wireless. "We have a proven, high-accuracy location solution that 21 carriers and multiple law-enforcement agencies rely on around the world, but this partnership with Globecomm establishes the first managed E911 Phase II service based on Polaris technology." http://www.polariswireless.com http://www.globecommsystems.com 21-Jun-10 Recent Start-up News Pareto Networks Names Daniel Ryan as CEO 9/7/2010 Aricent and Frog Design Create Idea-to-Market Business Unit 9/7/2010 Cisco to Acquire Arch Rock for Wireless Energy Sensors 9/2/2010 NTT DOCOMO Works with WiSpry on RF-MEMS Technology 8/31/2010 FiberTech Networks Sold to Investor Group for $500 Million 8/26/2010 Cisco to Acquire ExtendMedia for Video Content Management 8/26/2010 Nimbula Raises $15 Million for Cloud OS 8/25/2010 VSS Monitoring Raises $20 Million for its Distributed Taps 8/24/2010 Nokia to Acquire Motally for Mobile Analytics Service 8/20/2010 LG-Ericsson USA Launches, Integrates Accton's SMC Networks 8/16/2010 Talari Networks Secures $10 Million for WAN Virtualization 8/11/2010 MobileIron Raises $16M for Smartphone Management 8/3/2010 YouSendIt Secures $15 Million for Secure Content Delivery 8/3/2010 NTT DOCOMO Acquires PacketVideo for Embedded Mobile Software 8/2/2010 Wavesat Develop Tri-Band LTE Reference Design for Consumer Handsets 8/2/2010 > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Improving the Backbone with Dual Redundant SIP Service by Ian Colville Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras       E-mail Newsletter Sign up for a FREE TRIAL of our newsletter
