ND 911 Association Preparing for NG9-1-1 2/24/2010
Overview • Brief Description of NG9-1-1 • Status of NG9-1-1 Standards • PSAP advantages with NG9-1-1 • ND Conduciveness for an NG9-1-1 Deployment • What can I do to Prepare / Help? • Questions
NG9-1-1 • Today (E9-1-1) • A PSAP is connected to its service area via analog 911 trunks • “Enhanced” PSAPs operate on the MSAG, 911 database, and Selective Router for call delivery and Automatic Location Identification (ALI). • Tomorrow (NG9-1-1) • A PSAP will be connected to its service area via a digital network infrastructure. • Calls will be routed to the PSAP based on GIS information (service boundaries, geodetic coordinates, and civic address information) • PIDF-LO will be the replacement to ALI
State of NG9-1-1 Standards • Standards do exist for “High Level” Design • “i2” – The bridge between E9-1-1 / Phase I/II to NG9-1-1. • “i3” – A complete NG9-1-1 environment • Standards underway to address the details • ECRF • LIS • LVF • Industry Collaboration Event (ICE) testing has demonstrated that the design does work • Although still missing some details of implementation
PSAP advantages with NG9-1-1 • Call Set up is immediate • True Next Generation 9-1-1 will eliminate call setup . • All information related to the call is actually packaged with the call • Eliminate any chance of abandoned calls • Provides advanced information when the call is received. • Mapping • SMS • CAD
PSAP Advantage with NG9-1-1 • Database is completely GIS based • Single point of entry vs. maintaining GIS and MSAG • Eliminates any chance of error between multiple databases • Mitigates resources • Eliminates the requirement for personnel to keep up the MSAG and other databases. • Mitigates any chance of discrepancies with only one database to worry about • Mitigates any chance that a entry is missed or wrong because of faulty data entry.
PSAP Advantages with NG9-1-1 • Shared Resources will lower costs and provide full PSAP to PSAP back up • Mapping, CAD and other resources can be shared between PSAPs at the server level • With a Secure IP Network all that is really required at the PSAP is a server and a telephone. • With a secure IP network, any given PSAP can effectively provide coverage for any other PSAP
PSAP Advantages with NG9-1-1 • NEXT GENERATION 9-1-1 will save small community PSAPs • It will allow them to fully share equipment and database costs between PSAPs, while retaining local first responder functionality. • A 24/7 PSAP can back up a PSAP that does not have the resources or personnel to provide that level of service. • It will lower the costs of database management and provide full access to county data when they want or need updates. • It will offer the ability to deal with any kind of 9-1-1 call from any device.
ND Conduciveness for an NG9-1-1 Deployment • Size • Population is relatively low, number of service providers is low, etc. • State-wide implementation is a realistic goal • Network • Network connectivity exists, work to be done to ensure reliability, identify suitable network • Data • Major GIS data collection effort has been authorized • This GIS data is necessary to replace the MSAG and SR
What can I do to Prepare / Help? • Embrace change • Necessary to increase the level of service to the impaired • Necessary to address new forms of communication • Necessary to extend the capability of 9-1-1 • Get Educated • Need to be able to recognize what NG9-1-1 is and what it is not • Any money spent on non-NG9-1-1 items will only slow the process of NG9-1-1 deployment • Get Involved • Once you become familiar with NG9-1-1 it is important that you provide input
What can I do to Prepare / Help?Page 2 • Encourage Participation in the Statewide Seamless Base Map • Talk to Commissioners, Mayors, Addressing Authorities, GIS Personnel, etc. • Opportunity to finally capture your local government’s addressing foundation (if you haven’t already done so). • NG9-1-1 provides a backup solution in case your PSAP goes down • Consistent data spread amongst the PSAPs • Identify your addressing problems NOW and resolve them during the Statewide Seamless Base Map project • Identify a resource you plan to commit to the project to make sure your county is captured correctly
