The State of Nebraska selected Lumen Technologies, Inc. to help it transition to a next generation 911 platform using the company's emergency service network, IP-based software, applications and call routing services. Transitioning to Lumen's current NG911 platform will improve the delivery of emergency calls and enable Nebraska residents to contact 911 not only by making a voice call, but also support sending text messages, pictures and videos. The contract with State of Nebraska Public Service Commission establishes a statewide Emergency Services Internet Protocol Network (ESInet) that serves approximately 70 PSAPs, with the goal of having all seven PSAP regions connected to the ESInet by the end of 2022. The contract, which the company had won previously, has an initial term of five years with five one-year options. In addition, the company is launching enhanced NG911 features and functionality that will provide real-time visibility into customers' emergency call management systems and enable a more robust, reliable and resilient emergency response. The Lumen NG911 platform will support enhanced communication capabilities, such as the ability to send texts, images and videos directly to 911 call centers, that will provide first responders with additional information so they can better assist during an emergency.
