What is scoring? Scoring, or scorekeeping, is the process of estimating the federal budgetary cost or savings that would result from enacting a bill into law.
58. Device-Initiated Services for Emergency Communications. In an IP-based network architecture, emergency calls can be placed not only by human beings, but by a variety of automatically triggered devices. Examples of such devices include environmental sensors capable of detecting chemicals, highway cameras, security cameras, alarms, personal medical devices, telematics, and consumer electronics in automobiles. We seek comment on how the deployment of NG911 will facilitate the ability of device-initiated emergency services to reach PSAPs. What steps are needed to facilitate such deployment? Is there a need to modify existing laws, regulations, or tariffs to ensure that device-initiated emergency services have access to the NG911 network?
Current Activity • Conference Call with many interest parties Harlin McEwen, APCO, Stan Martin • Second draft just distributed by John Prendergast to AICC, CSAA, ESA, SIA & SIAC and soon to IACP, IAFC, NSA, and APCO.
Open Network Architecture (ONA) is the overall design of a communication carrier’s basic network facilities and services to permit all users of the basic network to interconnect to specific basic network functions and interfaces on an unbundled, equal-access basis
Very exciting news. “Late yesterday afternoon, prior to the President’s State Of The Union address, a number of public safety leaders were invited to participate in a conference call with Vice President Joe Biden. IACP Executive Director Dan Rosenblatt and I were both on the call. “The Vice President told us the administration has decided to support legislation to reallocate the D Block to public safety and to designate funds from incentive auctions of other spectrum to be dedicated to fund the network in the area of $10B-$13B. In addition to Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary Janet Napolitano were on the call and spoke strongly in support of this announcement. The Vice President hinted the President might mention this in his SOTU but that didn’t happen. However, there is general reference to it on Page 5 of the attached briefing paper the White House distributed just prior to the SOTU.”
Future Standard for Alarm Communication Systems Perhaps this effort is better labeled as a “Functional Specification” or even a “Basic Platform.” Therefore, rather than a “standard,” this document would give the needs of the central station industry, without laying out design criteria. The “standard” creates protocols and network architecture(s) for alarm and alarm related data transmission over wired and wireless broadband networks. This includes the transmission of burglar, fire, two-way audio and video information as well as other data uses. This protocol will include expanded reporting beyond current zone/point limits. Possible uses: “D’ Block frequencies Cognitive Radio “White Space” applications Enhancements to currently available technologies Potentially Central Station to PSAP data transfer
A Consensus Standard would facilitate all companies to design equipment to this new platform.
