AT&T (T) to Provide ESInet Services in Montgomery County

Read MoreHide Full Article

AT&T Inc. (T - Free Report) recently announced that Montgomery County has selected its ESInet service to transform the region’s 911 communications. AT&T ESInet provides a robust and flexible network with call routing services for 911 agencies, giving call takers enhanced tools to speed up responsiveness and boost reliability to those in emergencies.

ESInet is designed to accelerate the adoption of Next Generation 911 call routing. It meets the latest National Emergency Number Association i3 standards. With this, agencies can more easily manage 911 calls and automatically handle call overflow between Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and disaster recovery locations. AT&T ESInet lets PSAPs manage calls, and text messages are routed to help ensure that they reach the desired 911 agency.

Through this, the company is helping cities, counties and states across the country to connect to the future of 911 communications. Moreover, AT&T’s network has strong multilayered network security, which helps to minimize risks by securing data far from the public Internet. Encryption, firewalls and intrusion-detection and prevention help ensure 911 call delivery while minimizing disruptions.

AT&T ESInet is engineered to support the U.S. 911 busy hour call volume. It can handle texts unlike the current voice-only networks. AT&T maintains a leading position in first responder connectivity. Also, AT&T is gearing up to launch the first standards-based mobile 5G services to consumers in multiple U.S. markets by the end of 2018. The company has been working hard since 2017 to lay the foundation for mobile 5G network and has completed network upgradation in 23 major cities.

In the past year, shares of AT&T have lost 14.5% compared with 4.2% decline for the industry.
