• Support Public Safety Unified Communications systems and services.
• Support emergency point-to-point links, alarm relays, automated inbound 911 relays, telematics and third-party 911 communications.
• Triage and investigate communication, infrastructure and service failures, find root cause and drive remediation.
• Support 911 and Text-to-911 test environments in the 911 lab and validate test cases and results.
• Support asset management for emergency communications technology.
