Upgrading to Next Generation 9-1-1
What is Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) and why is it important for ECCs and EOCs?
Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) is an advanced, digital upgrade to traditional 9-1-1 systems. It enables emergency centers to receive not just voice calls, but also texts, images, videos, and real-time location data. This enhanced capability improves response times, boosts situational awareness, and helps first responders make better decisions. As communication needs evolve, emergency systems are encouraged to adopt NG911 to ensure faster, smarter, and more effective emergency response, therefore keeping pace with modern technology.
Adopting NG911 is just the first step in modernizing emergency response. Emergency communication systems such as Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs), Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), and Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) require mission-critical IT support to meet their communities' growing demands. VIE specializes in providing reliable, cost-effective solutions that keep these essential operations running smoothly, and ensures public safety is never compromised.
ECCs and EOCs Transition
As ECCs and EOCs transition to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) systems, they need IT support that can handle the complexities of implementing Emergency Services Internet Protocol Networks (ESInets) and Next Generation Core Services (NGCS). This upgrade also includes the integration of geographic information system (GIS)-generated data, a crucial component of NG911 environments.
VIE offers:
- Seamless integration with existing systems
- Enhanced support for NG911, ESInets, and NGCS
- Optimized GIS data for improved emergency response
