How E911 functions today What is NG9-1-1? Next Generation 9-1-1 Initiative aimed at updating the 9-1-1 service infrastructure in the United States and Canada to improve public emergency communications services in a wireless mobile society NENA: 9-1-1 access Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device 2000: Began conceptualizing NG9-1-1 2003: Started development actions 2011: i3 document 08-003 released
What s the Problem Now? > 40 years old Inflexible Phase 2 Wireless VoIP Isolated Lack of selective router (intertandem) connectivity Fragile 9-1-1 system downtime; points of failure Manual rerouting by 9-1-1 service providers can take hours Does not readily accommodate disabled persons You need 9-1-1, but you When can t 9-1-1 be used today? Can t talk An intruder is in the house. Husband is away. Mom and kids are holed up in a closet. Have a hearing disability I can t access TDD/TYY, but I can text. Are experiencing low cell signal Signal is too low for voice, but I can text. Have just witnessed a serious car accident Could an image captured with my smart phone improve response? NG9-1-1 will solve these challenges
