RedSky Technologies Becomes Nortel Developer Partner

    MIAMI, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- RedSky Technologies, a leading provider
 of E911 location information management solutions, today announced that it
 has achieved the status of Developer Partner in the Nortel Developer
 Program. Through this program, RedSky and Nortel will now work more closely
 to identify, deliver and promote enhanced solutions for mutual customers.
 The announcement was made at TMC's Internet Telephony(R) Conference and
 EXPO East 2008.
 
     RedSky's award-winning E911 Manager version 5.4.1 was tested in a
 Nortel lab facility and verified as compatible with Nortel's Communication
 Server 2100 release SE10. By focusing on products that bear the Nortel
 Compatible Product brandmark, such as E911 Manager, customers may realize a
 reduction in total cost of ownership, as these products have been verified
 to use established, supported Nortel interfaces and integration
 specifications.
 
     E911 Manager provides automated, end-to-end E911 location management
 and 911 call routing. For the CS 2100 platform, E911 Manager uses Nortel
 APIs to establish real-time communication between the platforms. RedSky's
 solution tracks IP phone movement in real time and provides the CS 2100
 with updated 911 call routing and emergency number information while
 delivering complete location record management and automated updates to
 local ALI databases. E911 Manager also supports real-time notification of
 911 calls to enterprise administrators.
 
     "The CS 2100 is a highly capable IP telephony platform for the largest
 government, education and commercial enterprises," said Nicholas Maier,
 RedSky senior vice president. "We are bringing the latest E911 technology
 to this platform to support multiple customer installation scenarios.
 Whether users are mobile or static, IP or digital, branch office or main
 office, E911 Manager automates E911 across the enterprise."
 
     The Communication Server 2100 is a large-scale enterprise converged
 solution based on its carrier derivative, the Communication Server 2000,
 which is deployed and proven in the world's leading service providers'
 networks. The Communication Server 2100 addresses the needs of demanding
 large enterprises and the US Federal government with a highly scalable
 converged solution deploying a "best of all worlds" philosophy. The
 Communication Server 2100 incorporates Nortel's leading enterprise features
