Brussels / Hamburg, 8 February, 2024 (APA/OTS) - Since the
beginning of this year, mecom Medien-Communikations-Gesellschaft
mbH has been a member of Brussels-based European Number Association
(EENA).
EENA was founded in 1999 to develop a common emergency number
service in Europe under 112. The non-profit organisation helps to
ensure that the Europe-wide emergency number 112 is known to
everyone residing in the EU and that high-quality help is provided
quickly. EENA shares best practices and supports the cooperation of
the police, rescue services, scientists and authorities.
"We look forward to get involved in EENA with immediate
effect," says Alexander Feldmann, Managing Director of mecom. "This
shows that we are one of the key players in the field of
safety-critical communication in Europe and that we want to play an
active role in the further development of security-relevant
infrastructure at an international level."
"EENA and mecom share the same concern: contributing to
population safety," adds mecom's Managing Director Mandy Best.
"With the emergency number 112, EENA has developed a standardised,
state-of-the-art technology for emergency communication that is a
real milestone. At the same time, mecom develops and operates a
nationwide alerting system commissioned by the Federal Republic of
Germany. Together, we are even stronger."
More than 1,700 security experts from about 80 countries around
the world are involved in EENA. In addition to solution providers,
representatives of emergency services, authorities and scientists,
mobile network operators and members of the European Parliament are
also part of the organisation.
