As one of the founders of nWise, his focus has been to sell and integrate our technical solutions, which enable accessibility to telecommunication for people who are Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing (D, DB, HH). Since 2001, Thor has worked with the development, deployment, and operation of the MMX® platform, which is used by Telecommunication Relay Services and connects calls made by people who are D, DB and HH to Emergency Services.
He works closely with service providers, solution developers, system integrators and telecom operators while interacting with regulatory authorities, user organizations, governmental authorities, and other stakeholders. He is an active member of NENA (North American Emergency Number Association) and EENA (European Emergency Number Association), and his goal is to make sure that meaningful accessibility to emergency services is a priority.
Since 2005, nWise has implemented Real-time Text (RTT) in their solutions. They further incorporated RTT into the concept of Total Conversation, which combines three different media in one session (voice, video, RTT).
