"SCCX is pleased to be selected by Sprint PCS to manage the deployment of wireless E9-1-1 services to its customers nationwide," said John Sims, chief operating officer, SCC Communications. "Sprint PCS is keenly aware that safety is on the minds of its customers. SCC's presence as an established and reliable provider of 9-1-1 services, and our relationships with thousands of public safety agencies nationwide will play a vital role in Sprint PCS' successful implementation of E9-1-1." Implementation of 9-1-1Connect service allows Sprint PCS to meet the FCC 94-102 Phase I mandate. SCC's 9-1-1Connect is the only proven solution for Phase I and Phase II, and the service can be integrated into virtually any wireless network -- analog cellular, digital cellular and PCS -- and is compatible with the PSAP's existing E9-1-1 infrastructure. What Does Wireless 9-1-1 Mean? In many parts of the nation today, when a person uses a regular -- or wired -- phone to call 9-1-1, the emergency dispatcher sees the caller's name, number and address on the computer screen,which helps emergency personnel respond faster. However, when the 9-1-1 call is placed from a wireless phone, the emergency dispatcher does not receive that valuable information along with the voice call. Wireless E9-1-1 will provide emergency communications personnel with the phone number of the wireless handset, and information about the cell site or "sector" where the caller is located. The more precise information aids the dispatcher in deploying emergency services. About the Companies SCC Communications Corp., is the leading provider of 9-1-1 operations support systems (OSS)services to incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECS), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECS) and wireless carriers in the United States. Based in Boulder, Colorado, SCC has redefined the U.S. market for 9-1-1 OSS by creating the first and largest 9-1-1 service bureau, the SCC National Data Services Center (NDSC), with more than 70 million subscriber data records under management throughout North America.
