15. NENA NG9-1-1 Interim and Long Term Impacts Input to several SDOs for coordination with IP Telecomm development Canadian CISC Report to CRTC names both NENA Interim VoIP Solution and NG9-1-1 i3 content as recommended path for Canada NENA NG9-1-1 definitions are expected to be primary input to the upcoming USDOT NG9-1-1 Project (contract assigned) in 2007-2008 NENA is a sub for the USDOT contract

16. NENA NG9-1-1 Interim and Long Term Impacts NENA Tech-Ops Joint NG9-1-1 Transition Planning Committee (NGTPC) started in November 2006 Preliminary `Considerations’ document provided for kickoff of the NGTPC Technical, PSAP, NG9-1-1 System operational Transition plans for various start points -> NG9-1-1 Transition plans oriented to stake holder interest groups NGTPC will expand initial considerations and set work priorities First F2F meeting January 21, 2007 at TDC/ODC

17. NENA NG9-1-1 Interim and Long Term Impacts NENA Senior Staff to develop overall NG9-1-1 Project Plan - started Oct 10-11 Will encompass all current and major future activities to bring NG9-1-1 into actuality (see NG9-1-1 Activity Relationships diagram – high level - next slide) Draft of next level activities in 1Q 2007

19. NENA 9-1-1 Center Operations Committee Update NENA IP Capable PSAP Features and Capabilities Standard revision has completed its technical/operations committees’ review & comment period. It is expected to go out for public review in late January/early/February. NENA E9-1-1 Wireless Maintenance Call Routing & Testing Validation Standard has completed its public review & comment period. Its next step is submissionto NENA’s Standards Advisory Committee and the Executive Board for final approval, expected in early February. (This standard contains text which should provide closure language for ESIF issues 35 & 36 – processes when adding cell sites.) Video Relay Service & IP Relay Service Operational Information Document continues to be developed with participation of consumer groups, relay service providers, PSAPs and others – this is part of multiple efforts to improve emergency services access to those who utilize VRS & IP Relay. NENA’s technical leadership has provided recommendations. LNPA-WG has submitted a related recommendation to ATIS INC, regarding numbers for those who utilize such services, also to help improve emergency services access – both to speed up and to help ensure correct routing.

20. NENA 9-1-1 Center Operations Committee Update NENA’s Operational Development Conference will be held January 21-24, 2007 in Nashville Addressing numerous NG9-1-1 issues from an operational perspective Issues to be addressed as part of operational standard development include: wireless voice blanking, dual-mode service (such as traditional wireless/WiFi), simultaneous ring, vehicular & personal telematics functional requirements, numerous issues related to voice, video and text-based services/devices with emergency services access (such as 9-1-1).

21. NENA Future Path Plan and Compliance Review Process NENA Technical Lead Team believes that conversion to a NG9-1-1 Compliance Program is appropriate NENA Board and NG Partners agree Work has begun in early 2007 on NG9-1-1 Certification plan Priority of development: Products NG9-1-1 system service providers Originating service providers 9-1-1 Authorities / PSAPs

22. NENA’s NG Partner Program Enable acceleration of NG9-1-1 as national project Partners - critical mass of 9-1-1 industry and new players Convergence of effort As foundation to other NG9-1-1 efforts, resolve enabling factors: Funding Policy Jurisdiction Data Access Location Identification/Call Routing Requirements and Standards Trials / demos Interoperability Disaster Planning Education at all levels

27. Education Discussed in all roundtables Importance to PSAPs, public safety, and public Message for NG9-1-1 We are evolving to improve future 9-1-1 Better 9-1-1 service for less money NG will help in 9-1-1 delivery to areas w/o Enhanced 9-1-1 and in deployment of Wireless Phase I and Phase II

28. Education Target Audience Those who can implement NG 9-1-1 - Government agencies - Local & state associations - Emergency services/first responders - Industry Public is secondary as audience, but important (e.g. schools, AARP, civic orgs.)

29. Demos/Trials Potential Sites - States – CA, IN, MT, NC, OR, TN, TX, VT - Regions/PSAPs – Elmore Co,(AL), Minneapolis (MN), Allegheny Co. (PA), Texas 9-1-1 Districts, Texas A&M Trial expansion, Washington, DC Currently doing a national survey of potential IP networks
