9-1-1 PROGRAM Answering the Call In An Internet World 9-1-1 Advisory Council May 11, 2005
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) • Provides ability to use high speed broadband • Transforming the way we communicate • Replacing primary phone with VoIP service • Consumers need solutions
NENA Objective • Rather than continuing to develop more ad-hoc, patchwork, short-term solutions to force new technologies to work within an aging 9-1-1 infrastructure, the far better alternative is to transform today’s 9-1-1 technology with new, innovative, and more flexible solutions for public safety that meet current needs with appropriate long term solutions, and provides a robust platform upon which to build solutions to future challenges.
Montana Objective • Rather than fund dozens of stovepipe systems, the State is pursuing funding for a uniform and standard E9-1-1 network, thereby reducing overall investment by eliminating duplication.
IP enabled 9-1-1 If the public safety agencies want to effectively service these calls, equipment throughout the 9-1-1 system will have to evolve to IP (Nena VoIP Operations Committee Work Group)
Congress - FCC • 1999 - Wireless Public Safety Act of 1999 • 2004 - The Enhanced 9-1-1 Act of 2004 • National Program Office • FCC Order expected May 19
VoIP Calls • Local (Fixed) - VoIP customer places a call from a fixed location within an ILEC exchange area & telephone number.
VoIP • Foreign Exchange (fixed) – VoIP customer places a call from a fixed location outside of the PSAP boundary normally served by the customer’s telephone number.
VoIP • Nomadic – VoIP customer calls from anywhere that the customer has access to a broadband Internet service
Traditional 9-1-1 services • 40 year old architecture • Limited functionality • Not set up for mobility • Will not handle innovative features
Reason to Implement • Current networks not compatible with VoIP • Lower costs • Reduces complexity
Technical Challenges • VoIP users can: • Select the area code of their choice • Use an internet phone anywhere a broadband connection is available • Use devices or services that can make a phone call but not have a phone number
Technical Challenges • VoIP users can: • Connect over a variety of technologies • DSL • Cable modem • Wireless • Satellite • Connect at multiple geographical locations
Phases of Deployment • I1- Immediate methods for VoIP • Route VoIP calls to the correct PSAP outside the current E911 system network. • May provide ANI • No ALI
Phases of Deployment • I2 – Migratory VoIP • Route VoIP into current E9-1-1 systems to the correct PSAP with ANI and ALI • Accommodates fixed and nomadic with MSAG valid location information • Nomadic user location either through automated process or user input via a service prompted web based form
Phases of Deployment • I3 – IP based full E9-1-1 Solution – (NG9-1-1) • Enable end to end IP based E911 design, supporting VoIP originated call delivery and the transition of current wireline and wireless service providers to IP interface
Traditional network- • Service providers need interconnection to: • Incumbent LEC selective routers • Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) • ALI database uploads • Solution: • Third party telecommunications provider to connect to the network • Coordination between many participants

Service Providers • Ensure 9-1-1 calls reach emergency responders • Work with PSAPs in a region • Work toward 9-1-1 Solution using existing 9-1-1 networks • Support Advance Solutions • Support 9-1-1 funding • Educate
Consumer Challenges • Phones have the functionality and appearance of conventional telephones
Statewide E911 & Wireless Network(Next Generation) • IP ready • Full 9-1-1 functionality for ALL VoIP services (I3) • Total IP protocols and logic • Dynamic location records • Ability to handle: • Nomadic • Fixed (Local and FX) • Ahead of the technology curve
What’s Next • Camera phones • Text messaging • Video from crime scene • Load balancing • Disaster recovery
Bottom Line • Offers the opportunity to increase robustness and decrease costs of 9-1-1 network components
