About The Customer
This U.S. company is changing the way global government agencies can deliver Emergency Medical Service (EMS) support to their constituents. The company’s success in providing Call Center solutions to hundreds of global customers has equipped them with the know-how required for establishing a scalable delivery network infrastructure designed to bring carrier-grade voice and data services for EMS. The company has long relied on NETSCOUT’s smart visibility and real-time performance monitoring analytics to help assure deliver of their Call Center services to hundreds of global customers.
The Challenge
Government agencies in both U.S. and Canada are looking to transform legacy EMS delivery technology to better accommodate today’s mobile, text, imaging, video, and data platforms. As a result, some state, provincial, and local first-responder agencies are rethinking how to better deliver EMS support to residents, including outsourcing technology services to leading thirdparty providers. That is where this leading Call Center company used lessons learned in their other business lines to improve voice and data delivery network support capabilities for police, f ire, and EMT teams. With the high stakes involved in delivering EMS Call Center solutions, the company was committed to offering network carrier-grade voice and data support to help customers improve service delivery. The EMS Call Center would also offer agency customers and their f irst responders a voice over IP (VoIP) switch solution to replace existing telephone exchanges, multimedia call processing and a unified call flow, with intelligent call routing based on employee skill sets and a customizable user interface.
The Solution
The company is assuring uninterrupted service delivery for EMS customers by using NETSCOUT’s smart visibility and real-time monitoring solution for the UC&C, application, and network technologies running on physical, virtual, and cloud-based platforms in their new Contact Center. In this integrated solution, the nGeniusONE platform takes advantage of NETSCOUT smart data for real-time monitoring of the EMS Contact Center’s call signaling, SIP monitoring, and call set-up capabilities. Real-time Service Dashboard views are used for first-level troubleshooting, with Service Monitors providing highly valued call querying compliance with National Emergency Number Association (NENA) standards regarding ID numbers used to identify specific emergency calls. InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) appliances bring visibility into performance of physical network segments, with vSTREAM virtual appliances providing views into virtual switch platforms operating in the EMS Call Center, as well as call hops between physical and virtual platforms. NETSCOUT Certified Packet Flow Operating System (PFOS) software brings additional resiliency to NETSCOUT data sources by providing network traffic distribution and load balancing of monitored traffic across the EMS Call Center. nGeniusPULSE and nPoints are used for continuous testing that validates consistent, overall availability in the EMS Call Center, leveraging SNMP polling and TCP port testing.

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
