Enterprise Messaging Gateway


JDD

Recommended Posts

I am doing some IT work for a local 911 center. The director was questioning me about being able to send a group text to all affected first responders when a call comes in. He would like them to be sent from the dispatchers computer so it can be typed quickly. This solutions must be very reliable and quick. He is hoping to replace paging first responders.

 

I have looked into online providers and they are way to slow and unreliable for this. I have also used Exchange Server 2013 which was also very slow.

 

After doing some research and talking with Sprint and Verizon it seems that there is an Enterprise Messaging Gateway that each have. 

 

Does anyone have experience with a system like this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm sure there are lots more people on this board the have knowledge about texting, but I believe that there is no guarantee that a text message will actually be received and there text messages are not a priority for the network.  My HTC One M8 has and app called emergency alerts.  I would look at something like that for your 911 center.

What CAD system are you using?

 

I am unsure of the CAD system, I have just recently started doing work for them. Their current IT company completely failed on an upgrade from Exchange server 2003 to 2013. I just finished up that disaster and now moved into this text messaging one. I will try and get up there this week and find out.

Lync 2013, it is a server based system with apps for ios, Android, Windows phone, and blackberry going thru BES in the hub of os10

 

I am currently looking at the Lync server. It seems like an option for them. I just ordered some hardware and going to build a test system at our office.

I was not involved with the system setup, I'm just an end user but i believe they used a small company called foxcomm for the integration.

Thanks everyone,

 

After a little deeper research, I found out the the current phone system will also send out text messages. All we need to do is to install the right card into the phone system. Thanks for all of you help on this.

We use http://www.sendwordnow.com at my company for emergency notifications.  It requires the user to respond to the message confirming that they got the message.  If they do not respond to the SMS, it then calls with a voice message that they must respond to.  We find it extremely reliable.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
