Over time, technological evolutions have created a demand for emergency systems that can keep up with the immediate needs of a digitally-communicating world. While the 911 infrastructure of the past has served communities well across America, public safety industry leaders have recognized the request for more accurate and streamlined 911 systems with the implementation and switch to NG9-1-1.
In this blog from the leading NG911 providers and experts at NGA, we will discuss:

Developments in technology and communications systems have created a growing need for more advanced and streamlined processes for citizens to access emergency services. While existing 911 systems have helped telecommunicators manage 911 calls for over thirty years, these systems don’t have the infrastructures to keep up with advancing digital communications technology.
Modern communication devices are evolving rapidly, many of which are wireless and include IP (Internet Protocol) and cloud-b...

Next Generation 911 Resources for 2022
As a leading provider of NG9-1-1, NGA is here to be a complete resource that PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) and other emergency response agencies can rely on when it comes to all things Next Generation 911.
At NGA, we believe that more information can mean a smoother transition to NG911, and that’s why we’ve created this comprehensive resource guide for Next Generation 911 in 2022.
NG911: The Basics
At its most basic, Next Generation 911 is a...

Now more than ever, the need for faster, more accurate emergency response is essential in a world of evolving technology and increasing cybersecurity risks. With more NG9-1-1 systems being implemented throughout the country, how PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) receive alerts from alarm systems and respond to emergency events and 911 calls will improve drastically.
With NG911 (Next Ge...

Did you know that around 240 million emergency calls are made to 911 telecommunications organizations in America each year? More U.S. states are implementing NG9-1-1 systems to help PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) manage emergency calls in their communities with technology that can process and interpret 911 caller phone numbers and location information.
With the NG911 (Next Generation 911) initiative underway, states and local governments are deploying the NG911 systems according to th...

As PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) and other emergency response telecommunication centers across America transition to NG9-1-1, this conversion will likely involve public safety organizations using both NG911 and E911 for a short time. With NG911 standards changing the course of agency response, the need for more reliable and accurate public safety services is vital.
But, what is NG911? What is E911? And what is the difference between these two 911 systems?
In this blog, ou...

The digital communications landscape is evolving rapidly, driving the high demand for more efficient and effective emergency response services. With the nationwide NG9-1-1 implementation initiative, PSAPs (public safety answering points) and other 911 telecommunications agencies will access updated wireless multimedia communications technology.
Much of the Legacy 911 infrastructure that supports emergency calls has remained the same since the first 911 call was placed in February 1968. Giv...
