LONGMONT, Colo., Nov. 18, 2011 — Intrado Inc., a subsidiary of West Corporation and a leading provider of 9-1-1 technology solutions, today announced it participated in i3 interoperability testing at the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Industry Collaboration Event 4 (ICE 4).

In June, Intrado announced a suite of i3 products designed to help ease the transition to next-generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) for telecommunications service providers and public safety answering points (PSAPs). Intrado’s i3 product suite includes a broad range of premise-based and fully managed public safety solutions that align with commonly used industry standards.

During the ICE 4 event, held this week at the AT&T Center for Learning in Irving, Texas, Intrado fully tested a complete solution to demonstrate i3 interoperability in a multi-vendor NG9-1-1 environment.

The areas of focus for Intrado’s i3 interoperability testing included the following functional elements as part of its i3 solution:

Emergency Call Routing Function

Location Validation Function

PSAP Call Processing Equipment (Positron^® VIPER^®)

“Intrado continues to embrace its responsibility to collaborate with NENA and the public safety industry to help solve i3 interoperability issues in a multi-vendor next-generation 9-1-1 environment,” said Stephen Meer, Chief Technology Officer for Intrado. “NENA ICE events play an important role in enabling and accelerating the transition from today’s legacy 9-1-1 systems to Internet Protocol (IP)-based next-generation 9-1-1 networks.”

With hundreds of NG9-1-1 installations already completed or in progress, Intrado has established itself as the industry leader in the deployment of advanced technology that improves public safety.
