Preparing for the Future Next Generation 911 Public Safety Information Committee March 1, 2007
Introduction • Emergency calls today are primarily voice. • People expect to reach PSAP when dials 911. • People have multiple ways and devices to communicate today. • Traditional 9-1-1 system does not work well with new devices. • Identity = Line number, Location = billing address • Covering limited area • National protocols and routing • Three (related) fundamental problems • Where is the caller? • To which PSAP should the call go to? • How to identify the emergency call? • New communication devices are intelligent.
It has served us well, but ….. Today’s 9-1-1 Future 9-1-1 • Primarily voice calls via telephones • Minimal data • Local access, transfer, and backup • Voice, text, or video from many types of communications devices • Advanced data capabilities • “Long Distance” access, transfer, and backup
Assumptions and Constraints • 9-1-1 = local • Communications = IP • NG9-1-1 > 9-1-1 • Phased implementation • No federal mandate • No degradation in the current system • Market driving the need
Four Phases of Emergency Calls Phase 4 Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
NG 9-1-1 Goals and Objectives • Enable E9-1-1 calls from any networked communication device. • Enable geographic-independent call access, transfer, and backup among PSAPs and between PSAPs and other authorized emergency organizations. • Encourage an open architecture, interoperable internetwork of all emergency organizations. • Reduce emergency services capital, operating, and maintenance costs.
NG 9-1-1 Goals and Objectives • Provide opportunities to enhance 911 system: • Multimedia (audio, video, text) • Data delivery (floor plan, medical information) • Delivering video (CPR how-to) • Load balancing and redundancy
The Mission of the PSAP • Remains the same within an NG9-1-1 system – • to receive emergency calls from the public • ascertain the nature, status and location of the emergency, • and relay the call to the appropriate public safety dispatch center for response to the emergency. • The call-related expectations of the PSAPs also remain the same .
NG9-1-1 changes the core capabilities of emergency services in three areas • types of calls received; • ability to transfer/receive calls from PSAPs outside the local region; • and capability to accept additional information designed to facilitate emergency services. • These are expansions of current functions, not fundamentally new roles.
Scenario 1 : Telematics andNG9-1-1 Third Party Emergency Provider
Scenario 2 : Interactive Text Scenario Communicating with the Hearing Impaired
Scenario 3 : PSAP Backup/Overload Dealing with a hurricane
Next Generation 9-1-1 • Communication devices are already here • The current system is having trouble adapting • There are more and better services that we can provide • We need to be planning and moving in that direction
