Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) increases 1.79% to $6.84 in pre-market trading session on Monday as Frost & Sullivan awards Lumen Technologies (LUMN) the Enabling Platform Leadership Award based on its recent analysis of the U.S. next-generation 911 (NG911) market for delivering a visionary platform that enables public safety entities to run and manage cloud applications efficiently in a single interface. Lumen’s all-in-one platform simplifies data administration and allows new solutions to improve the way ECCs and first responders monitor, manage, react, and respond to emergency occurrences.
Lumen distinguishes itself by providing an innovative NG911 platform designed for the next generation of public safety. The company’s platform, in particular, makes it easier to integrate new apps and data sources, resulting in a secure, standards-compliant, cloud-native digital experience. The architecture provides a framework for supporting and/or integrating future technological improvements, while the cloud environment allows clients to swiftly install new applications.
“As the public safety sector advances to a more data-intensive environment and applications grow more complex, a ‘platform-centric’ strategy will emerge as the best architecture to enable digital transformation. In this climate, Lumen is well positioned to embrace the next generation of public safety with a transformative platform built to enable technological developments and innovation “said Brent Iadarola, Vice President of Frost & Sullivan.
Lumen’s VP for state and local government and education markets, Sonia Ramsey stated that they all know that when someone dials 911, every second counts. They are proud to be one of the few true Next Generation 911 network providers capable of enabling public safety answering points (PSAPs) to fully utilize those seconds in real time and serve citizens and first responders when they are most needed. The transition to NG911 is a process, and he is honored to see their technology and employees acknowledged for assisting public safety agencies on their path to digital transformation.
“Whereas most NG911 competitors must independently purchase connectivity and bundle it into their offerings, Lumen owns network assets and, consequently, can seamlessly provide customers with managed connectivity, multi-cloud diversity, embedded security, and collaboration tools in a single integrated platform,” noted Iadarola.
