GREENVILLE, SC - December 08, 2011 - Catalyst Telecom®, a
sales unit of ScanSource®, Inc. {NASDAQ: SCSC}, and
value-added distributor of voice, video and data
convergence solutions, has added hardware and software
solutions from eTelemetry, a leader in extracting business
information from network activity, to its line card.
Through this relationship, resellers have access to the
company's complete line of innovative emergency response
solutions.
eTelemetry's solutions enable users to pull real-time
business information from the network, allowing businesses

bandwidth usage, sites visited and chat times by person and
department. Catalyst Telecom will be distributing
eTelemetry's Locate911, which provides life-saving VoIP
location information and alerts when 911 is dialed; LENS,
which improves emergency response by sending immediate
alerts to internal personnel when an emergency call is
placed; Locate, which automates switch port and device
identity for security and compliance; and Metron, which
monitors and controls employee Internet activity and
bandwidth use.
"State regulations around the inclusion of E911 solutions
are getting much more stringent in order to provide a safer
environment for businesses. With eTelemetry's solutions,
resellers are able to offer cost-effective, easy-to-install
solutions to their end-user customers so that they can
effectively meet these new requirements," said Mike Ferney,
