"In choosing our CDMA solution, MoviStar Puerto Rico ensures their subscribers will be serviced with TCS' many years of expertise in deploying and maintaining E9-1-1 solutions in the United States," said Richard Young, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for TCS. "We are excited to have this chance to expand our emergency services offering beyond the shores of the continental United States. TCS intends to provide affordable, easy to integrate E9-1-1 Phase II services for regional carriers as well larger nationwide carriers, providing their subscribers with identical quality and accuracy in this life-saving service."
"Since emergency services continue to be at the top of subscribers' lists for important cell phone services, we believe it is critical to choose the most reliable and accurate E9-1-1 solution. We look forward to deploying commercial services while achieving our goal of mandate compliance and, most importantly, safety," said Claudio Hidalgo, Chief Executive Officer for MoviStar Puerto Rico. "TCS' location solutions fit our needs completely."
"Winning MoviStar Puerto Rico's confidence in delivering E9-1-1 service is an important part of our broader offer and global interests," said Tim Lorello, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for TCS. "Positioning our Hosted Location solutions (XLP and SnapTrack PDE) with MoviStar Puerto Rico allows TCS to provide a critical location service such as E9-1-1, gives MoviStar Puerto Rico the opportunity to experience the strength and accuracy of a precise location solution, and enables TCS to provide MoviStar Puerto Rico with other commercially viable location services from a hosted configuration."
