South Dakota officials have announced the state will receive $3.4 million in a settlement with the company that used to provide its 911 call system.
After a series of alleged 911 call failures, the state decided to switch its emergency call system last year and sued Comtech Telecommunications Corp. which had the old contract.
The state will deposit the money into the 911 Coordination Fund and distribute $200,000 to emergency call centers throughout the state.
Last year, the state’s 911 Coordination Board awarded a five-year contract to CenturyLink to provide 911 services to the state. The board completed its transition to that provider in February.
