PlantCML Celebrates 40 Years of
Commitment to Public Safety
Company
Reflects on Rise to Industry Leader, Growth
through Technology Development and
Acquisitions, Advances Next-Generation 9-1-1
Temecula,
CA
— PlantCML, an EADS North America company, today celebrates its 40th anniversary
as the leader in crisis communications and response for public safety. It also
reaffirms its mission to develop fully integrated, next-generation technologies,
enabling mission-critical operations to interpret, share and act upon all forms
of incident-related data in order to protect life and property.
The anniversary comes on
the heels of PlantCML’s acquisition by EADS
North America, the second largest aerospace
and defense corporation in the world, in
April of 2008.
“We owe the growth and success we’ve recently
experienced at PlantCML to a vision that
began in the 1960’s—an unwavering dedication
to our customers and to public safety,” said
Tim Fuller, president of PlantCML. “Over the
last four decades, we’ve been privileged to
have some of the best minds in the industry
walk our halls and help us carry out that
vision. Now we are proud to take these same
core principles of excellence forward as we
lead public safety communications into a
new era.”
PlantCML’s roots can be traced back to 1968
when the company—then named Plant Equipment,
Inc. (PEI)—developed single console telephone
dispatch systems for utility call centers.
PEI spent the next few years advancing
existing and innovating new call center
technologies while simultaneously expanding
the solutions to other industries.
In 2006, the company merged with
Canada-based CML Emergency Services, an
industry leader in emergency communications
technology, to form what is now PlantCML.
Since that union, PlantCML has served as the
single largest supplier of crisis
communications and response systems for
public and private safety, providing
solutions to thousands of mission-critical
operations throughout North America.
Following the merger in 2006, PlantCML
continued to build on its position as market
leader by acquiring three other companies in
the public safety space:
-
DCC (Dialogic Communications Corp.),
industry renowned provider of emergency
notification technology—2006
-
TCI (Tel-Control, Inc.), a provider of
networked and hosted E9-1-1 solutions—2007
-
Sigma Communications, LLC, developer of the
patented REVERSE 911® emergency notification
system—2007
PlantCML’s solutions are now staples of
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) from
coast to coast. The company’s call
processing, incident and records management,
Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), data
management, networking and emergency
notification solutions are used by thousands
of public and private safety operations—over
two-thirds of the U.S. public safety
market—as well as military bases, airports
and utilities.
PlantCML offers Next Generation 9-1-1
(NG9-1-1)-capable solutions, which are
Internet Protocol (IP)-enabled products
designed to meet the new non-traditional
call-taking and dispatching needs of
mission-critical operations. The NG9-1-1
suite of solutions provides PSAPs with an
open path for future transition into a total
IP-based call center. It also sets the stage
for PSAPs to migrate from conventional call
handling and response operations toward more
of a command and control environment.
