O-bit Telecom has become the first company in the UK to offer an automated 999 feature on the new Calypso system. This new platform is set to replace the current BT system for 999 data base management. The development will go hand-in-hand with O-bit’s unique Purple Networx portfolio –the true end-to-end VoIP solution.
Other phone companies that supply IP telephone numbers have to manually register the number on the now outdated emergency services database. This is to offer added protection for the user – so that if an unidentifiable 999 call is made from the handset, a member of the emergency services can be sent to the registered location to investigate.
O-bit has become the first UK company to offer this service entirely automated and supported by Calypso. Whenever one of O-bit’s customers places an order for an IP phone, the newly generated number will be automatically registered onto BT’s database against the user’s address – with no manual involvement from the customer or O-bit.
O-bit CEO, Dave Breith, referred to the new service as “revolutionary!” Saying this week, “Our new automated 999 offering is just another example of how O-bit can make life so simple for its customers and partners”.
