Monitoring - Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, World Health Organizations & Government Authorities have made recommendations for employees from certain countries globally to work from home in order to reduce the risk of the virus spreading; this is impacting more global locations with cases in many countries of APAC, EMEA & the Americas.
As a result, the public will be communicating via telephone on a more frequent basis and will increase the number of calls handled by telephone carriers across the globe.
Increased telephone traffic may cause congestion on carrier network(s) and result in users experiencing intermittent connection problems when attempting to connect to conference calls. Users may receive busy/engaged tones, dead air, or network messages. Voice packets may also be lost within congested networks in an effort to keep the call alive. Callers may also experience disconnections as networks become congested.
Intrado is closely monitoring service capacity levels in coordination with carrier partners.
All Intrado carriers are working with their in-country providers to assess requirements and upgrade where appropriate on a daily basis. This is considered to be a direct result of working from home patterns and travel restrictions currently in place and increasing across the world. Intrado is satisfied with the works applied by our carrier partners and assures it's clients that our platforms and carrier networks are stable with no thresholds being reached.
The local exchange carrier (caller’s carrier) will also have increased call volumes and may experience temporary congestion problems; Intrado does not have control or ownership of local exchange carrier(s) network capacity and is solely managed by the local exchange carrier(s).
Impacted users are advised to connect to conferencing services outside of peak traffic times (on the hour and half hour) and to utilize VoIP or Video options where possible.

HealthCare SWN HouseCalls/TLINK Platform Maintenance **This will include windows updates to the HouseCalls platform and the T.LINK platform
Minimal Impact is expected due to the timing of the maintenance window.
• Customers may receive an unhandled exception error if attempting to process a web request during the service move.
• During the actual maintenance, services will be moved from one disk cluster to a backup cluster to further mitigate any possible impact.
• As services are moved, active users could experience approximately 2 minutes of downtime. This will occur two times during the maintenance activity when traffic is moved from the primary to the backup, as well as when service is returned to the primary.
• The actual time of the moves could vary depending on the time necessary to complete.
Temporary Workaround:
Customers who receive exception errors should simply wait approximately 2 minutes and try again

This incident has been resolved.
May 27, 11:06 CDT
Monitoring -
A carrier routing change has been applied. Subsequent testing has validated successful calls with good call quality and no loss of audio.
Intrado has placed this Incident in a monitoring state. Incident will be closed in 24 hours should no further impact be observed.
May 26, 11:38 CDT
Investigating -
Intrado has received reports of loss of audio after 10 minutes in to a conference followed by an audio loop where previous audio from the same meeting is playing back in to the meeting.
Impact, based on current reports, is limited to CCA-SP conferences where the 'Call Me' feature is used to connect attendees from Germany via the telephone. This has not been reported for lines which have dialled in to the conference or from any other country at this time.
Intrado engineers and carrier teams are engaged and fully investigating this issue as a priority.
Impacted callers are advised to hang up and redial, or use the available dial in numbers shared via a link within your meeting invites.
