Wireless technologies significantly impact the critical mission of public safety; reliable networks and precise location information can mean the difference between life and death for individuals contacting 911. “More than 80% of calls to 911 are made from a wireless phone today. That’s an incredible shift in just a few years,” noted Robertson, who has spent three decades in public safety and emergency communications. “What’s more, the industry is now seeing the emergence of new technologies and devices that have the ability to provide valuable information to first responders, and the proliferation of 5G will increase both communication speed and the number of endpoints, critical to effective emergency response.”

Intrado’s 42-year legacy in developing industry-changing technology that serves public safety gives Robertson a unique perspective. “I look forward to this appointment as an opportunity to collaborate on important topics like vertical (Z-axis) location, dispatchable location, and connectivity to IoT devices such as security alarms, telematic service providers, and smart speakers to securely deliver incident information through the native 911 system,” he said. “Intrado’s leadership in these areas and steadfast commitment to carriers and the wireless industry will help drive connections that improve emergency response.”
