Cellular networks fail to connect 9-1-1 calls

 

DALLAS, March 16, 2017 -- The COPsync911™ threat-alert system enables emergency alerts to be sent from at-risk facilities such as schools, colleges and universities and hospitals to rapidly and accurately direct first responders to an emergency without using the cellular network. The system is offered by COPsync, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYN) and is being used to safeguard schools, government buildings, hospitals, colleges and other at-risk facilities in 15 states across the US.

 

Last week, a failure of cell phone service in more than a dozen states prevented callers from reaching the emergency 9-1-1 dispatch centers. This week, 9-1-1 operators were overwhelmed with "ghost calls," and real emergency calls were unable to reach life-saving services. Both of these 9-1-1 failures happened under normal cell phone usage circumstances. During an active threat or disaster, the cellular service failure could be catastrophic.
