“Komutel is Versaterm’s sixth acquisition since 2020. All of the new Versaterm entities share one common trait: a proven technology solution to uniquely address the real challenges of emergency service professionals. With this acquisition, Versaterm’s support-centric approach now extends to the 9-1-1 side of the emergency services communications center where Komutel has set the industry standard for software solutions,” said said Warren Loomis, CEO of Versaterm.
Loomis added, “Versaterm customers will also benefit from Komutel’s investment in several end-to-end middleware solutions specifically designed to support the upcoming transition from legacy E9-1-1 analog communications to NG9-1-1. . Looking ahead, we see the transition to 9-1-1 NG as a long-awaited inflection point where the effectiveness of an all-digital 9-1-1 infrastructure will finally be realized using the portfolio of solutions from 9-1-1 communications from Komutel. ”
“Our company was built to provide 9-1-1 operators with the most advanced tools to receive, record, transfer, route and manage the millions of emergency calls made every day,” said Richard Poulin, CEO of Komutel. “In recent years, Komutel has developed new solutions for 9-1-1 call centers as part of the national transition from analog 9-1-1 to NG9-1-1. We look forward to continuing our growth trajectory with Versaterm and supporting their emergency service customers across North America in the years to come. »
