Cassidian Communications Expands Notification Reach of U.S. Public Safety Professionals

Cassidian Communications, an EADS North America company, today announced the successful deployment of its Self-Registration Portal by numerous U.S. public safety operations utilizing The Communicator!® NXT, GeoCast® Web and REVERSE 911® notification solutions. Use of the web-based SRP enables customers to gather contact information just as cell, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and unpublished numbers from local residents, expanding the reach and effectiveness of these critical notification systems beyond existing 9-1-1 databases, which currently contain only landlines.

"We are currently using television public service announcements to drive people to sign up on the Self-Registration Portal to make sure we are serving all our cell phone-equipped population," said Rob Bryn, Public Information Officer, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office.

Several other Cassidian Communications customers, including Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness, are working to deploy the SRP in the nearly future.

By implementing the SRP, organizations can expand their communications reach to include a much wider audience, said Adams. Such as important, they can do so without increasing resources and expense, making it beneficial to both our customers and the people who ultimately will be notified.

Cassidian Communications continues to serve customers ranging from public safety operations to Fortune 1000 corporations to federal agencies. Collectively, the company has more than 40 years of experience deploying 9-1-1 call processing solutions, notification solutions and first responder digital trunked radio networks.
