Consider a world where 9-1-1 calls automatically reroute in the event of a PSAP failure or overload... where additional data associated with the call describes, in an instant, the source and type of the call... where dynamic queue analytics identify areas of high calling and sort likely duplicate calls to the bottom of the answering queue... where the ability exists to pass along video and audio from the scene to responders effortlessly... where a fully-redundant "system of systems" links PSAPs and all 9-1-1 calls are answered in a timely manner by a trained dispatcher—no matter what the condition or emergency...
