Coverage from Space (SCS)

Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS) extends emergency communications beyond traditional terrestrial cellular coverage by enabling emergency calls and texts over satellite-enabled networks, helping expand access to emergency services in challenging environments.

SCS helps emergency requests reach public safety when terrestrial cellular coverage is unavailable. Intrado supports these communications with intelligent routing and location-aware technologies designed to deliver emergency requests to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

SCS benefits Public Safety Answering Points, wireless service providers, emergency communications organizations, and the public by helping expand access to emergency services in remote, rural, and disaster-affected areas.

SCS complements NG9-1-1 by supporting emerging communication methods while integrating with standards-based emergency communications infrastructure. It helps agencies prepare for the continued evolution of next-generation emergency services.

Yes. SCS is designed to complement existing emergency communications technologies, allowing organizations to extend emergency coverage while supporting current routing, location, and PSAP workflows.

Intrado combines decades of emergency communications expertise with trusted routing, location intelligence, and NG9-1-1 technologies to help organizations extend emergency services beyond traditional network boundaries.
