1968:

Basic 9-1-1:• Copper Land Line• Callers and PSAPs

are fixed locations

1980s–90s:

Today:

VoIP

1990s – 2000s:

Enhanced 9-1-1:• Calls are routed

based on local jurisdictions

9-1-1 System – Timeline

Wireless 9-1-1:• Callers are

nomadic and must first be located

NG9-1-1:• Any Device,

Anytime, Anywhere

Background / 9-1-1 Today• Existing 9-1-1 infrastructure was

initially designed to do one thing – process emergency calls from a fixed location

• Majority of calls for emergency service today are nomadic, from several different devices

• NG9-1-1 environment cannot be reliant upon the legacy infrastructure

Legacy 9-1-1 NG9-1-1Only ANI/ALI Advanced data

sharing-telematics, sensors

Access to services are locally provided and fixed by jurisdiction

Enhanced capabilities; physical location of PSAP becomes less important

Routing based on phone number / MSAG

Ability to dynamically route based on geographic location

What is NG9-1-1?• Current 9-1-1 system is reliable, but based on antiquated technology

– Limited ability to transfer and not designed for moving the data that is now a daily part of communications, such as text and images

• NG9-1-1 is often considered a network, but it doesn’t stop there – it is the culmination of converging many applications into a common platform

– NG9-1-1 is best described as an open-standard-based, robust system of systems, that allows the public to use any device to request help

• It allows access from the legacy 9-1-1 system while allowing for greater interoperability

• NG9-1-1 does not have a “chosen” or preferred entry point

GIS in NG9-1-1

• GIS plays crucial role in NG9-1-1 call routing • Routing database is GIS data centric• Accuracy of GIS data is paramount• Shared data – coordination• 9-1-1 authority is responsible for the data• Location is delivered with call • Location is pre-validated using GIS data (LVF)

GIS in NG9-1-1• NG9-1-1 will require scalability for more data• Additional fields in database design

– Structures: Floor, Room, Seat– Roads: More jurisdictional boundary fields, classifications, routing– Additional layers: Neighborhoods, unincorporated communities, more

classifications for common places, parcels

• More potential for interoperability with other systems– Healthcare, emergency management, industrial sites (HAZMAT)– Facility plans, large campuses

NG9-1-1 Improved Data Interoperability• Common Operation Picture (COP) Systems

• Sensors, Cameras, Photos – all with location tags• 9-1-1 Centers, Emergency Operation Center, First Responders all

using same GIS data• Improved data interoperability across local, state and federal

agencies during large incidents

• GIS Data Redundancy and Backup– Access to data outside of your jurisdiction– Other PSAPs can access your GIS data for dispatch during high

call volume

Approach• Central 9-1-1 GIS Repository

– Enable PSAPs to share GIS information– Establish MOAs– Set standards for GIS data entry– Set standards for regular maintenance plan– Future framework for NG9-1-1 database

• Statewide SCL’s• Statewide PSAP Boundary Layer• Validation of GIS with MSAG, ALI
