Comtech offers the most comprehensive end-to-end in-house technical capabilities in the market and a full portfolio of products, services, and system integration capabilities

SANTA CLARA, California, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the North American Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Comtech Telecommunications Corp.'s strong industry performance with the 2019 North American Product Line Strategy Leadership Award. Comtech assembled and introduced a comprehensive NG9-1-1 product line that truly addresses customer needs, reduces complexity, and accelerates the widespread adoption of NG9-1-1.

"NG9-1-1 significantly expands public safety capabilities and will allow 9-1-1 callers to efficiently and reliably relay text, data, video, and IP-based voice calls in emergency situations," said Brent Iadarola, Vice President at Frost & Sullivan. "While many providers license their technology to large integrators to manage the emergency services IP network (ESInet) and Next Generation Core Services (NGCS), Comtech's comprehensive in-house capabilities allow it to serve as both the primary service provider and the end-to-end integrator for NG9-1-1 deployments."

Comtech is uniquely equipped to offer NG9-1-1 solutions both directly and through channel partners. In addition to NGCS and ESInet services, Comtech's broad portfolio enables an end-to-end approach to NG9-1-1 and includes customer premises equipment (CPE), ESInet connectivity, and enhanced functional elements for voice and data. The company's geographic information system (GIS) provides public safety answering points (PSAPs) with real-time location data that can be synchronized across local, regional, and state levels to optimize PSAP operations and improve emergency response times.

Comtech continues to demonstrate its commitment to public safety and invest in 9-1-1 services. In February 2016, the company acquired TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. and, consequently, secured notable 9-1-1 assets. In February 2019, Comtech acquired Solacom Technologies Inc., a pioneer in next-generation call-handling solutions and regional NG9-1-1 systems. Comtech continued to invest heavily in public safety and 9-1-1 with its acquisition of the state and local government NG9-1-1 business from General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (GDIT) in April 2019.

"While Comtech's name is relatively new to public safety, its core technologies have come through the acquisitions of multiple, highly regarded companies, each of which has many years of experience in 9-1-1 and public safety," noted Iadarola. "With its recent acquisitions, Comtech has emerged as one of the largest NG9-1-1 contract holders in the United States."
