GTL Inmate Communication System Deployed for the Corrective Services of New South Wales, Australia
New South Wales is the most populated state in Australia and represents 33% of Australia's total gross domestic product (GDP). After a rigorous procurement process and an evaluation of seven vendors, Corrective Services New South Wales (CSNSW) awarded a contract to Telstra, along with Ericom and GTL as its suppliers, which CSNSW Commissioner Peter Severin praised for the recent deployment of a new offender telephone system in the state's 39 prisons. This is the first phase of CSNSW's offender digital strategy (ODS).
The combined knowledge and expertise of the companies moves CSNSW towards a goal of digitizing its systems. Telstra understands the needs of the sector as the largest communication service provider in the country; Ericom offers expert systems integration as well as local knowledge delivering solutions; and GTL provides an expert and adaptable technology platform that offers 99.99% uptime.
