ROCKVILLE, Md., April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleContinuity, the world's first
provider of a disaster-proof and survivable backup telecommunications network,
today announced at the FOSE trade show (Booth #2140) in Washington, D.C., that
its backup voice solution meets and exceeds all COOP (Continuity of Operations
Plan) telecommunications requirements and is now available to all government
agencies.
The TeleContinuity survivable telephone backup service is a network-level
solution that restores incoming telephone service to users within minutes of a
terror attack, PBX failure, fiber cut, fire, flood, building evacuation, or
other catastrophic event. The TeleContinuity solution gives a government
agency total control of its telephone service during an emergency.
Subscribers can easily reroute their calls to maintain continuity of telephone
service even during building evacuations, service cutoffs or telco outages.
Incoming calls can be delivered to any location and over any device, whether a
landline phone, cell phone, PC, laptop, PDA or even via e-mail. A government
agency can secure full telecommunications backup coverage within 30-60 days,
and because TeleContinuity is a hosted service, there is no need for
additional equipment, staff or maintenance.
TeleContinuity's COOP for Voice Solution will be available to government
agencies through four different prime contractors, utilizing a number of
different contract vehicles.
"The TeleContinuity voice solution meets all Federal Emergency Management
Agency COOP requirements," said Roy Pinchot, CEO of TeleContinuity. He added:
"Combined with our in-house expertise and training, we can assure that
deployment of our disaster-proof, survivable backup voice solution will meet
government COOP continuity of operations planning requirements."
Through TeleContinuity's proprietary intelligent communications routing
and switching technology and strategically located and geographically
dispersed network nodes, users can easily and within minutes of a telephone
service disruption switch control of their telephone service to
TeleContinuity's survivable backup telecommunications network. Once this is
done, customers can receive their phone calls at any location they like over
whatever device they choose.
TeleContinuity's solution makes this possible because it can sense open
and available circuits on both the public switched telephone network and the
Internet. On-the-fly, and without human intervention, TeleContinuity
instantaneously creates an operational network from an infinite variety of
network routing options. Calls are moved back-and-forth between the Internet
and public switched networks and routed around any network or telco outage to
assure call delivery.
