EarthLink to Use Bandwidth Network to Route 911 Calls for All Endpoints

EarthLink will use Bandwidth’s nationwide emergency services network to manage 911 routing for all of its business and residential endpoints, Bandwidth said Thursday. The emergency services network is operationally efficient, “allowing EarthLink to leverage Bandwidth’s consolidated nationwide database of customer endpoints and nationwide emergency call routing platform,” Bandwidth said. “The end result is a more efficient way of servicing customers, while providing them extremely reliable emergency services.” Bandwidth’s network “meets all of the public safety requirements for our customers and also allows us to deploy the next-generation IP voice applications that our customers demand,” said John Dobbins, EarthLink executive vice president-network operations, in a news release (http://bit.ly/1DFjz3z).
