INdigital Swiftly Restores 911 Service to Holmes and Jackson Counties After Outage

FORT WAYNE, Ind., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- INdigital, a leading provider of next-generation 911 core services, successfully restored 911 service in Holmes and Jackson Counties, Florida, after a significant outage on July 2, 2024, leaving residents without access to the 911 network. The outage affected both counties that were using another 911 provider.

In response to the outage, Holly Peacock and Kellie Uitts from INdigital immediately delivered ENCORE kits to the affected areas. ENCORE is an extension of INdigital's MEVO, a disaster recovery platform. ENCORE offers 911 call disaster recovery for PSAPs on any network.

"Our team demonstrated exceptional agility and dedication in responding to the outage in Holmes and Jackson Counties. The rapid deployment of our ENCORE kits underscores our commitment to ensuring uninterrupted emergency services. It highlights the ability to provide 911 centers with caller and location information no matter who the service provider is."

Similarly, Daniel Warren, Director of Communications and 9-1-1 Coordinator for the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, shared his appreciation:

"We are deeply grateful to INdigital for their extraordinary support during the 911 outage in Jackson County. Despite JCSO not being their customer, Holly and the team at INdigital went above and beyond by driving an ENCORE Disaster Recovery Kit three hours to our 911 center. This selfless act enabled us to swiftly resume taking 911 calls, providing accurate location and call data. Their immediate response was instrumental in ensuring continued 911 call delivery and maintaining public safety during this critical period.
