July 11, 2024-- Comtech (NASDAQ: CMTL) (the “Company”), a global technology leader, today announced it recently completed the full migration and deployment of a Next Generation 9-1-1 (“NG9-1-1”) system in Saskatchewan—marking a significant milestone for the Company and Canada’s NG9-1-1 infrastructure.

In October 2023, Comtech helped Strathcona County in Alberta become Canada's first Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”) to transition to NG9-1-1 services. With the Saskatchewan NG9-1-1 deployment, Comtech is now the first company, in partnership with leading Emergency Services IP Network (“ESInet”) provider SaskTel, to deploy a province-wide NG9-1-1 system in Canada.

"We are honored to build on our longstanding partnership with SaskTel to complete this critical NG9-1-1 transition in Saskatchewan," said Aaron King, General Manager of Comtech’s Solacom Technologies Division. "With a government mandate to transition to NG9-1-1 services by March 2025, Comtech is partnering with Canada’s public safety agencies to lead the way in building one of the first national transitions to a NG9-1-1 infrastructure. This province-wide NG9-1-1 deployment paves the way for other NG9-1-1 migrations across Canada that will empower PSAPs throughout the country with the ability to leverage new technologies that can significantly enhance safety, reliability, and response in a wide range of emergency situations."

In addition to the Saskatchewan NG9-1-1 deployment, Comtech also recently completed a local NG9-1-1 PSAP migration in Ontario, Canada. With these NG9-1-1 migrations complete, Comtech is the first public safety provider in Canada to partner with all three major ESInet suppliers in the country—SaskTel, Bell, and Telus—to build out the nation’s NG9-1-1 infrastructure.

As one of the most trusted providers of public safety technologies, Comtech is continuing to expand its NG9-1-1 call routing and call handling solutions, including the Company’s Guardian Call Management platform, for governments and emergency response providers across the globe. The Company’s NG9-1-1 offerings are designed to adapt and continuously evolve over time to meet the needs of emerging use cases as well as future applications.
