RedSky leverages Java/Linux in latest E911 Manager release

Automated E911 solutions provider RedSky Technologies rolled out a new version of its E911 Manager, that has been engineered using Java and Linux to deliver improved scalability, resiliency and capability.

The enterprise-class E911 Manager Version 6 software helps enterprise, government and education customers deploying virtual computing environments, SIP and Unified Communications networks capture, manage and deliver the detailed location information necessary to provide effective 9-1-1 emergency response.

The software integrates with major call servers/PBXs to track phone location movement and monitor for 911 calls, automatically updating phone locations in both regional ALI databases and its cloud-based E911 Anywhere to deliver accurate location information to emergency responders. It works with major platform providers including Avaya, Cisco and Siemens and supports SIP endpoints and voice platforms. In next-gen 911 networks, Version 6 can be deployed as a Location Information Server using the NENA i3 standard.

"While the need to provide E911 protection to workers and students remains constant, communications technology continues to evolve at a dramatic pace," said Nick Maier, SVP at RedSky.

A single instance of Version 6 can support up to 50 call servers/PBXs and up to 100,000 endpoints, and it can run in a virtual environment or on a dedicated server.
