'Can you hear me now?' - Don't Let Your Aging Network Prevent You From Being Heard

Public safety organizations managing Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP 911) centers are at a cross-road. Migrating mission-critical voice and data circuits from aging time-division multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure to a packet-switched network is a complex and challenging task. Many telecom equipment vendors propose a forklift upgrade path requiring complete replacement of the entire system.

The cost, complexity, and disruption can be prohibitive for many organizations. SEL has taken a different approach by developing a unique solution that bridges the TDM to packet divide with support for analog and digital voice circuits. Learn how SEL and WWT have partnered to deliver an incremental packet migration path that can be scaled to meet the specific needs of each public safety organization.

What to expect

• Best practices and steps for a phased network migration approach that supports the implementation of a modern packet-switched network while preserving existing analog end equipment
• How the SEL ICON (Integrated Communications Optical Network) platform supports the seamless transition from TDM to Ethernet allowing an organization to self-manage their packet migration path
• SEL's innovative technology and WWT's comprehensive design and commissioning services, the joint solution reduces the risks and implementation costs associated with the migration of mission-critical services

Goals and Objectives

To convey that SEL and WWT can provide a scalable network migration path to help public safety entities solve the challenge of migrating end-of-life telecom equipment used for E911 dispatch and first responder communications to a modern packet-based network.
