Track: Next Generation Emergency Communications Services |
Unpacking the Complexities of NG911 |
Next-generation 911 (NG911) is often perceived as a single entity, but its true nature is far more complex. The primary function is to route emergency calls and data from various networks—commercial, Wi-Fi, cellular, or even legacy landlines—managed by different organizations, both public and private, to Emergency Services. Additionally, a new type of emergency communication has also emerged with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), where any smart device equipped with a specialized application can sense and report any emergent event leveraging multiple data networks. This intricate network ecosystem can lead to data collection, validation, and credibility inconsistencies—all critical elements directly impacting life safety decisions. Every entity involved—from origination networks and NG911 Service Providers to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), call takers, dispatchers, and ultimately field responders—depends on the entire network infrastructure to deliver timely, accurate, and reliable data to perform their roles effectively. Join this esteemed panel of experts as they explore the development, challenges, and opportunities associated with each component of this transformative architecture. They will discuss the current state of NG911, the impact of the innovative solutions their companies are implementing, and the evolving regulatory environment that guides these advancements. Don’t miss this engaging session on the future of NG911 and how industry leaders are navigating its complexities. |
