TEMECULA, Calif. – Airbus DS Communications, an entity of Airbus Defence and Space, has reached a record sales pace with its VESTA® 9-1-1 system. Since the product’s launch in December 2012, it has shipped to over 6,000 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) positions in the U.S. and over 60 positions on U.S. Department of Defense bases around the world.
“We are rapidly adding new customers and replacing existing systems with our next generation VESTA® solution,” said Bob Freinberg, CEO of Airbus DS Communications. “In fact, we’re implementing the latest VESTA 9-1-1 system at a pace faster than any platform we have ever built.”
Of the VESTA 9-1-1 systems shipped in the U.S., over 3,900 positions are already installed in over 700 PSAPs. To support these installations, 544 Channel Partner technicians and 8,500 Public Safety personnel have been trained by Airbus DS Communications in order to ensure the highest level of performance and support.
In the U.S., Airbus DS Communications systems are deployed in 3,500 PSAPs across 48 states and the District of Columbia, ranging in size from two calltaking positions to 613.
“Many people may not know that on any given day, six out of every ten 9-1-1 calls in the U.S. are answered by our equipment,” said Freinberg. “We’re also proud to serve over 190 PSAPs on federal installations in 13 countries, including the U.S. We don’t take this vote of confidence lightly and we aren’t slowing down.”
