Interim Text to 9-1-1 https://comtech.com/capability/interim-text-to-9-1-1/ Wed, 03 May 2023 17:50:29 +0000 https://comtech.com/?post_type=solution&p=625

Interim Text to 9-1-1

Texting is increasingly the core of 9-1-1 communications, but many state and local jurisdictions are yet to integrate emergency text messaging. 

Comtech offers a powerful, interim web-browser solution for public safety answering points (PSAPs) that have not fully migrated to a Next Generation 9‑1‑1 (NG9‑1‑1) solution, but still want to receive emergency texts.

Interim Text to 9-1-1

Product Details

EMedia® is an intuitive web application with advanced capabilities that improve a PSAP’s Text to 9‑1‑1 session management experience. 

The EMedia service provides PSAPs with two web-based portals: 

  • Telecommunicators responding to text messages sent to 9‑1‑1 (operator portal). 
  • PSAP’s EMedia administrator to configure the service (admin portal). 

From the operator portal, telecommunicators can receive and reply to text messages, view the texter’s location on a map, hand off a session to a different operator within their PSAP, and transfer sessions to alternate PSAPs.

With EMedia, any PSAP with an internet connection can efficiently receive, respond to, and transfer 9-1-1 text sessions in a secure manner, without a significant financial investment.

Industry Compliance

EMedia complies with the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions

(ATIS)/Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) J‑STD‑110a and the latest applicable

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandates.

Features & Benefits

Key FeatureBenefit
Secure Administrator PortalAllows PSAPs to set time‑of‑day rules, session limits, block abusive phone numbers, choose which PSAPs can receive transfers, and more.
Centralized Text Session ManagementAggregates and displays all text messages in a single list to all users signed into EMedia, improving communications and reducing the risk of a text going unanswered.
Automatic Location DisplayDisplays the carrier-provided location of the Texter on a map as soon as an operator replies to a new text message, reducing time to dispatch.
Call Handling Equipment InteroperabilitySuccessfully tested with the most popular customer premises equipment (CPE) applications.
Session TransfersIf the Texter’s location changes during a session, EMedia automatically displays the PSAP assigned to the new location. Alternatively, users can choose from a list of nearby PSAPs that can receive the transfer, putting control in the hands of those that know best.
Quick MessagesPrepopulates a custom list of commonly typed messages managed by the EMedia admin that operators can quickly choose from and send for a faster response.
Partially Attended TransferProvides visual confirmation that an operator at another PSAP is actively exchanging messages with a Texter after transferring the session.
Advanced ReportingEMedia Administrators can access detailed text session reports that provide greater insight into how text to 9‑1‑1 is being used at the PSAP, including PSAP‑level and session‑level views.
Recent Sessions on DemandGives operators visibility to the last 10 text sessions terminated or transferred in the past 24 hours, providing quick access to information that may be needed to support an active emergency response or complete required reports.
