  4. What is Next Generation? • IP selective router with legacy ALI is NOT Next Gen (but it might be an intermediate step in getting there) • Voice and ALI on the same IP circuit defines Next Gen • Media conversion (IP to CAMA) at the PSAP for legacy CPE can still be Next Gen, as long as the voice and ALI arrive at the PSAP via the same IP circuit. • VoIP is not Next Gen

  5. What Might Next Gen Look Like • Single Service Provider • Multiple Service Providers

  6. Current Pardigm • CPE provided by multiple competing vendors, sold directly to individual PSAPs • Infrastructure sold to PSAPs by a single System Service Provider (Typically the LEC) • 911 Services sold to PSAPs by a single System Service Provider (Typically the LEC) • Network and services are regulated and tariffed by the PUC. No competition.

  7. Problems with Today’s Paradigm • Not IP-based • Expensive (is Next Gen any cheaper?) • PUC regulations may inhibit competition and innovation • Selective routing • Who owns ALI data? • Cost recovery

  8. The Struggle Behind the Scenes Next Gen has the potential to blow the lid off the traditional 911 business model. Ongoing struggle in the standards and regulatory arenas pit the old guard (regulated and tariffed) against the new capitalists over who shall have access to the PSAP.

  9. ACCESS=MONEY

  10. IP Option #1-Single SSP • Each PSAP purchases their own IP-capable CPE • All PSAPs contract with a single IP E911 service provider to provide IP-based connectivty, selective routing, and ALI • This would be an IP-version of today’s paradigm, except that the PSAPs need not be geographically close to the selective routers. • ILEC, CLECs, WSPs, VSP, all connect to the new E911 service provider via media gateways

  11. The PSAP Drawbridge • The SSP becomes the gatekeeper to the PSAP, essentially replacing today’s model with an IP version of today’s model. (selective router merely replaced by an IP gateway) • The PSAP pays the SSP for the drawbridge • Anyone wanting access to the PSAP also pays the SSP to cross the drawbridge

  13. Option #1 Diagram

  14. Option 1 Pro/Con • Advantages • Single point of contact for PSAP • Disadvantages • May stifle innovation • May require continuing regulated monopoly • Cost TBD

  15. IP Option #2-Multiple SSPs • Each PSAP purchases their own IP-capable CPE • Each PSAP authorizes multiple IP E911 service providers to access the PSAP • Access providers provide IP-based connectivty, selective routing, and ALI to: • ILEC, CLECs, WSPs, VSP, all connect to the new E911 service provider via media gateways • Each E911 service provider handles ALI and SR for their own customers

  16. The PSAP Airport • The PSAP becomes it’s own gatekeeper and allow anyone to fly in with all sorts of data. • The PSAP sets air traffic control standards and prohibits any non-standard call from landing.

  17. Option 2 Pro/Con • Advantages • Encourages access providers to innovate in order to attract carrier customers • Competition may reduce cost to PSAP (free?) • Disadvantages • Multiple “throats to choke” for the PSAP • Multiple testing requirements for PSAP (Similar to wireless today)
