DATAMARK Technologies Unveils New Location Information Server
In a pioneering move aimed at enhancing public safety, DATAMARK Technologies has unveiled its Location Information Server (LIS), specially designed to assist first responders by providing highly accurate location data tied to incoming 9-1-1 calls. This advanced system adheres to the NENA i3 standard, representing a significant upgrade in how emergency calls are handled by 9-1-1 centers.
Improving Emergency Response
The primary function of the Location Information Server is to deliver precise location details to emergency dispatchers. By integrating directly with Originating Service Providers (OSPs) such as wireless carriers and VoIP providers, the LIS ensures that the exact location of the caller is transmitted instantaneously when a 9-1-1 call is made. This solution marks an evolution from DATAMARK’s existing Location Database (LDB), which has proven reliable for over a decade, setting a new standard in emergency response systems.
Mitch Pinkston, CEO of DATAMARK Technologies, emphasized the importance of this new offering, stating, "Our LIS is the next evolution of our existing LDB. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the latest technology while ensuring compliance with all national standards." This commitment is vital, especially as the Federal Communications Commission pushes for advanced Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) systems aimed at improving service effectiveness across the nation.
Key Features and Compliance
Among the noteworthy features of the LIS are its compliance with recent FCC guidelines and its ability to validate subscriber location information reliably. The system is engineered to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructures, allowing OSPs to deploy the LIS with minimal disruption to their current processes.
Additionally, the LIS is a mandatory component of the NG9-1-1 framework. It has been developed in response to evolving regulations mandating that service providers automatically validate and share a caller's location with emergency services during critical situations. This capability not only enhances the precision of the information transferred but is also essential for effective emergency management and responder coordination.
Technological Advancement for Public Safety
The introduction of the LIS underscores DATAMARK Technologies’ commitment to public safety. This initiative not only aims to save lives by improving the speed and accuracy of emergency responses but also stands as a model for how data can be leveraged within the public safety domain. By breaking down data silos and enhancing interoperability, the LIS allows emergency services to function more effectively, ultimately creating a safer environment for communities.
As more OSPs adopt the Location Information Server, the impact on emergency response across various regions is expected to be profound. By ensuring precise location data is readily available during crises, DATAMARK plays a crucial role in shaping the future of emergency services and safeguarding public welfare.
