Next Generation 9 -1 -1 Vision An evolved, fully-functional, Next Generation 9 -1 -1 system that is accessible anytime, anywhere, from any device 8

Why Do We Need NG 9 -1 -1? n The old E 9 -1 -1 system design just can’t cope n n n n New communications technologies need `plug and play’ access and interfaces Constant adaptation of E 9 -1 -1 expensive and slow Growing data rich environment – E 9 -1 -1 can’t handle Need data bandwidth, modernized network --> IP Need a more flexible and easily controlled 9 -1 -1 system Need interoperability among emergency communications services nationally and internationally Post transition, NG 9 -1 -1 can be significantly more efficient (and likely less expensive for similar features) 9

Why do we need NG 9 -1 -1? n Current and new `calling’ devices n n n Text – IM, SMS, PDAs, other non-voice devices Wireless – Wi. Fi, Wi. MAX, improved cellular interface, hybrid (cellular/Wi. Fi) Sensors – environmental, alarms, biometric Video, still and motion Wide spectrum of users, emergency support needs n n n Deaf and hard of hearing, speech impaired Non-english speaking callers Constantly increasing mobile users – location challenges 10

NG 9 -1 -1 Purposes Fully replace Enhanced 9 -1 -1, with all capabilities and functions in place today • Add capabilities to support changes for current and new types of Originating Service Providers • Add flexibility for the PSAPs and 9 -1 -1 Authorities • Add capabilities to integrate and interoperate with emergency entities beyond the PSAP • 11

NG 9 -1 -1 Purposes These four major areas of system development also require that many policy, educational and operations issues be treated, as part of the overall Project development prior to implementation. n Addition of capabilities beyond those of today’s E 9 -1 -1 systems, for instance, drive needs in the above areas that are not easily derived from past practice or experience. n System and procedural tools are required to support 9 -1 -1 Authorities and PSAPs n A variety of educational products are required n Guidelines and recommendations for the transition of stakeholders to NG 9 -1 -1 are critical. 12

What is NG 9 -1 -1? NG 9 -1 -1 is a system comprised of hardware, software, data and operational policies and procedures to: n n n provide interfaces from call and message services process emergency calls and non-voice (multi-media) messages acquire and integrate additional data useful to call routing and handling deliver the calls/messages and data to the appropriate PSAPs and other appropriate emergency entities support data and communications needs for coordinated incident response and management The basic building blocks required for NG 9 -1 -1 are: n Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet) n International Standards Compliant IP Functions n Software Services/Applications n Data Bases and Data Management n Security n Human Processes 13

NG 9 -1 -1: From Paper to Reality n Significant technical and operational standards development (NENA and other SDOs) n Proof of concept trial demonstrations n Architectural framework development n Concept of operations development n Certification and accreditation conceptual development n But…Without policies that promote NG 9 -1 -1 and statutes & regulations that allow it, standards and architecture development is irrelevant n What is possible must also be a policy goal and a legal activity

Some NG 9 -1 -1 Policy Issues Identified n Funding models must be reexamined to account for emerging technologies and to enable the sharing of infrastructure and costs n State and federal policies are needed to enable the establishment of State Emergency Service IP Networks (not stand alone 9 -1 -1 networks) n Jurisdictional frameworks for NG 9 -1 -1 at fed, state and local levels must be clarified (Need for appropriate statewide coordination/management) n Out of date state and federal laws/regulations that do not reflect modern communications capabilities in an NG 9 -1 -1 system must be addressed n n n e. g. outdated state PUC regulations based on traditional telephone system; e. g. outdated rules restricting the eligible use of 9 -1 -1 funds to old technology Need for review of liability and confidentiality statutes

NENA’s Development Approach NG Partner Program Activities n Funding: Provide recommendations to solve the diverse funding methods across the nation that complicate and limit funding for NG 9 -1 -1, its transition, and ongoing operation. n Jurisdiction: Recommendations, considerations and rationales for roles and responsibilities around NG 9 -1 -1 at federal, multi-state, intra-state regional and local levels are defined and transmitted to all levels of government. 40

NENA’s Development Approach NG Partner Program Activities n Regulation: Federal and state regulations need to be changed, deleted, and added in order to both further NG 9 -1 -1 implementation and to ensure that any regulatory roadblocks are eliminated. The goal is to both prepare appropriate model regulatory language and to begin a plan to drive such changes at the federal level and, where appropriate, at the state level. n Legislation: Federal, state and local laws need to be altered where they conflict with NG 9 -1 -1 key concepts and principles. The goal is to analyze existing laws and prepare appropriate model legislation language for those necessary alterations, and to begin a plan to make such changes happen at the federal level, within the 50 states and, where identifiable, locally. 41

NENA’s Development Approach NG Partner Program Activities n Education: The NG 9 -1 -1 legislative and regulatory goals will require education materials for a broad spectrum of entities and people. The goal will be to refine the federal/state/local government list, develop the appropriate supportive messages and provide as part of the legislative and regulatory implementation plans. 42

NENA’s Development Approach NG 9 -1 -1 Transition Planning Comm activities n Identify transition needs n Identify gaps in development work n Produce a transition planning and implementation guideline set, - with references to documents provided by other work groups, - for each major stakeholder group, and - across the various start points (greenfield, B 9 -1 -1, E 9 -1 -1 with Phase II, E 9 -1 -1 with Phase II and Vo. IP, etc) to NG 9 -1 -1 43

SYSTEM From INCOSE, the International Council on Systems Engineering: n A system is a collection of different elements that together produce results not obtainable by the elements alone. The elements, or parts, can include people, hardware, software, facilities, policies, and documents; that is, all things required to produce systems-level results. 58

NG 9 -1 -1 as a SYSTEM n From the systems engineering and project management perspective, NG 9 -1 -1 is a system of hardware, software, databases, networks, human processes and procedures, and documentation that produces an end result of 9 -1 -1 service according to accepted requirements and performance expectations. n The various operational processes, both physical and human, among all the parties to the system, are part of and critical to the NG 9 -1 -1 system. Those parties include originating service providers, vendors of network, hardware and software, SSPs, PSAPs, 9 -1 -1 Authorities, and other stakeholders that positively or negatively can 59 impact 9 -1 -1 operations and resulting service.
