The US Navy has awarded a contract to AT&T Government Solutions (AGS) for the delivery of cloud-based VoIP enterprise 911 routing and call-handling technology to its facilities on a national scale.

Under the $10m agreement, the AT&T unit serving a wide range of federal agencies has deployed a network for the US Navy, which is supported by four geographically varied AT&T data centres (ADCs).

The ADCs reportedly offer a flexible and reliable network backbone, as well as complete operational redundancy.

AT&T Government Solutions president Kay Kapoor said: "The AT&T 911 platform enables seamless site integration within [the] current navy infrastructure and places the navy in a pre-eminent place in addressing the 911 enhancements specified in the Ft Hood After Action report."
