State of Arizona Renews Partnership with Allerium to Advance Next Generation 9-1-1 Services

Key Terms

next generation 9-1-1 (ng9-1-1) technical

An internet-based upgrade to traditional emergency call systems that lets 9-1-1 centers receive texts, photos, video, precise device location, and other digital data instead of just voice calls. It matters to investors because switching to this modern “smartphone-era” network requires spending on new equipment, software, and training and creates business opportunities and regulatory risks for telecom carriers, public-safety tech vendors, and companies that supply network infrastructure.

public safety answering points (psaps) technical

Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) are the local call centers that receive emergency phone and data calls (for example, 911) and send police, fire, or medical responders. Think of them as a city’s central dispatch hub: their technology, reliability, and regulatory obligations matter to investors because they influence demand for telecom and public-safety equipment, service contracts, liability exposure, and funding or reimbursement tied to emergency systems and infrastructure upgrades.

next generation core services (ngcs) technical

Next generation core services (NGCS) are the modernized backbone systems and platforms a company uses to run its essential operations—think of upgrading an old house’s plumbing, wiring and heating to make everything faster, safer and easier to expand. For investors, NGCS matter because they can lower operating costs, speed new product launches, improve reliability and make it easier for a business to scale or compete, which can affect future revenue and margins.

emergency services internet protocol network (esinet) technical

A secure, standards-based internet protocol network that links emergency call centers, dispatch systems and responder agencies so voice, text, video and data can be routed and shared digitally in real time. It matters to investors because building, maintaining and securing these networks creates demand for specialized hardware, software and services, and influences government spending, contract opportunities and regulatory risk; think of it as upgrading public safety from a basic landline system to a smartphone-style data network.

geographic information systems (gis) technical

A geographic information system (GIS) is a smart mapping tool that captures, stores and analyzes location-based data to show where things are and how they relate on a map. For investors, GIS turns scattered facts—like customer concentrations, transportation links, property boundaries or environmental risks—into visual patterns that help assess site choices, supply-chain exposure, market opportunities and long-term asset value, much as a weather map helps plan a trip.

Renewal reflects continued collaboration, innovation, and commitment to reliable emergency communications statewide

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- December 11, 2025-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) (“Comtech” or the “Company”), a global communications technology leader, today announced that its Allerium business segment, formerly known as the Terrestrial & Wireless Networks segment, has renewed its long-standing partnership with the State of Arizona to continue advancing the state’s next generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) services.

This renewal reflects Arizona’s confidence in Allerium’s performance and the strong collaboration that has defined the relationship — one built on flexibility, trust, and innovation in delivering reliable emergency communications statewide. As of mid-2025, all Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in Arizona are receiving 9-1-1 voice calls and text sessions through the state’s Allerium-enabled NG9-1-1 system, ensuring faster, more resilient connectivity for communities across the state.

Under the renewed agreement, Allerium will continue to provide Next Generation Core Services (NGCS), the Emergency Services Internet Protocol Network (ESInet), and Originating Service Provider (OSP) Aggregation — the foundational elements that keep Arizona’s 9-1-1 ecosystem connected. Deployed in less than two years, the statewide solution integrates seamlessly with third-party systems supporting Geographic Information Systems (GIS), call handling, and analytics, creating a secure and interoperable network designed for the future of public safety.

“Our collaboration with Allerium has been defined by partnership and progress,” said Greg Denton, Arizona 9-1-1 Program Administrator. “Their responsiveness and expertise have helped ensure that Arizona’s NG9-1-1 system remains secure, reliable, and ready for what’s next.”

Over the course of the partnership, Allerium and the Arizona 9-1-1 Program have worked together on multiple system enhancements and expansions to strengthen statewide emergency communications and support PSAPs and first responders in the field.

“Arizona has been a trusted partner since the earliest stages of its NG9-1-1 journey,” said Tom Guthrie, Chief Operating Officer at Allerium. “Together, we’ve built one of the most advanced, reliable, and collaborative statewide systems in the nation. This renewal reflects our shared commitment to continuous improvement and the citizens who depend on this vital service.”

Allerium remains committed to supporting Arizona’s leadership in public safety technology — when every connection counts.
