Cook County, MN says it has 911 redundancy now [telecom]

COOK COUNTRY, MINNESOTA December 6, 2010 (LSN) Much of government work is transactional, process oriented and somedays down right mundane. But within this structured framework there is always the opportunity for creativity, collaboration and leadership to improve the way we deliver services. 2019 has been an eventful year filled with opportunities and challenges, some of which are highlighted below.

911 Service redundancy was finally achieved through a partnership with CenturyLink, The Northeast Service Cooperative, True North Broadband, and the State of Minnesota, assisted by Cook County MIS, the Sheriff's Office, and Emergency Management. The result: no more County-wide 911 outages!

OK, so much for subtlety.

I was in charge of the E911 system in New England once, and the thought of "finally" having redundancy in 2019 would have been anathema to me, and IMNSHO, it should have been anathema to Centurylink and to every other person involved with E911.
