Ra’anana, Israel, October 10, 2011 – NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that it has expanded its partnership with Intrado Inc., a subsidiary of West Corporation and a leading provider of 9-1-1 technology solutions, by entering into a distribution agreement with Intrado’s call handling business. Under the agreement, Intrado will offer NICE public safety solutions and services to Intrado customers in the continental U.S. and Canada, enabling PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) to take advantage of next-generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) ready solutions, such as native VoIP recording and NICE Inform for multimedia incident information management. The distribution agreement was signed earlier this year.

The two companies also completed an integration of the NICE audio recording solution with Intrado’s next-generation VoIP E9-1-1 controller called Positron VIPER^®. The integration of the two products means PSAPs can now implement a tested, proven NG9-1-1-ready solution for recording Internet Protocol (IP) communications. Additionally, because the integrated solution records native IP, PSAPs can achieve very high audio recording quality while eliminating analog wiring infrastructure costs associated with station side analog recording. VIPER enables PSAPs to support NG9-1-1 services such as text messages, pictures, video and other data. VIPER’s networking architecture relies solely on IP connectivity and was engineered to support NENA’s i3 next generation IP standards for native VoIP 9-1-1 calls.

“NICE and Intrado are both at the forefront of NG9-1-1 in their respective fields and our companies already enjoyed a successful partnership, with NICE joining the Intrado A9-1-1^sm Alliance Member Program last year,” said Eric Hines, VP Security, NICE Systems. ”We are excited to build on our relationship with Intrado through this agreement and by integrating our next generation of solutions for managing and recording IP communications.”

“As PSAPs continue to transition to IP networks, the shape of public safety communications will continue to evolve,” said Joe Hernandez, senior vice president for Intrado. “PSAPs will need solutions that have the ability to capture and manage many new forms of multimedia data and IP-based emergency communications. Our partnership with NICE better equips us to address these growing customer needs.”
