The RedSky Remote Worker Program: Free 60 Day Coverage

The coronavirus has businesses of all types deploying a work-from-home agenda in unprecedented numbers.  What was once available only to select employees is now being highly encouraged, or even mandated across all sectors.  This pandemic has quickly resulted in the need for teams to decentralize, yet remain productive and safe in remote work locations.

It is important to ensure the communications systems you choose for remote employees provide the same access to emergency services as an on-premise solution.  If a remote worker dials 9-1-1 from a device operating on the company network, that call should connect to the nearest emergency dispatcher, with accurate location data conveyed to the dispatch center. This is not “default” functionality, and must be actively deployed.

At RedSky, we are here to help you protect your employees and business by offering 60 days of complimentary E911 service to protect your remote workforce.

As communications are forced to the cloud, traditional 911 becomes insufficient. A dynamic approach to 911 is required to ensure cloud-based communication systems are effective when a person requires help.  This is why we developed E911 Anywhere® and MyE911®, both of which are included in our complimentary Remote Worker Program

RedSky E911 services allow your organization to provide dynamic location information for all your employees in the event someone dials 9-1-1.  Both E911 Anywhere® and MyE911® are cloud-based, so they can be implemented off-premise and work with communication systems that are meant to move anywhere.  Our E911 solutions allow companies to keep their employees protected regardless of where they may be working. Again, if you would like more information about our free 60 day offering, please reach out here.

We are here to answer any questions you may have about how to safely move operations off-premise. Additionally, we are here to educate you about the legislation the FCC has enacted around E911, and how this may affect your organization.
