Rosum Corporation, the leader in reliable location technology for public safety markets, announced that it had completed the rollout of its reference network across the Northeast Corridor of the United States. The rollout was completed with Intrado Inc., a global provider of integrated data and telecommunications solutions and leading provider of VoIP E9-1-1 services. The expanded geographical footprint will provide Rosum customers contiguous coverage from the National Capitol Region to New Hampshire, enabling extended support of automotive and nomadic applications.

Skip Speaks, Rosum CEO, commented, "We have expanded our coverage footprint in the key population and commercial centers of the Northeast Corridor to more broadly support our current public safety customers. This is also a major milestone in our expansion towards a national coverage footprint to deliver the most reliable automatic VoIP E9-1-1 solution in the market today. Our alliance with Intrado allows us to concentrate on our core business of developing reliable, accurate location technology, while leveraging Intrado’s expertise in designing and managing public safety class networks."

"As Intrado looks at available automatic location determination alternatives, Rosum’s solution holds merit for mobile 9-1-1 calls placed indoors and in urban canyon environments," said Stephen Meer, Intrado cofounder and CTO. "Rosum provides an essential piece of the solution required to remove the need for subscriber self provisioning."

Rosum also announced that it had successfully demonstrated the ability of its robust location technology to operate with Intrado V9-1-1 Services for full end-to-end 9-1-1 call delivery capability.

Speaks concluded, "Our alliance with Intrado enables us to address the clear public safety need for automatic VoIP E9-1-1 location capability while working within established 9-1-1 frameworks."
