FirstNet and AT&T are taking an important step to deliver the first nationwide high-speed data and voice network for America’s first responders.
Last month, the two provided U.S. states and territories with individual State Plans to enable the rapid deployment of this first-of-its-kind FirstNet network. The network buildout proposed in the State Plans will create thousands of new jobs nationwide and drive investments across the states and territories.
Delivery of the State Plans comes three months ahead of schedule. This marks a major milestone in the deployment of the FirstNet network. The network will modernize public safety communications and provide first responders with technologies to help them save lives and protect communities.
Contact the NENA Committee Resource Manager for information on how to get involved!
A new working group focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and external applications (apps) is seeking volunteers to assist in creating a document describing the impact of IoT devices and emergency applications on NG9-1-1. This document will provide guidance to 9-1-1 professionals, application/device vendors, and data management/monitoring entities for NENA-endorsed methodology for NG9-1-1 interaction by IoT devices and emergency calling applications.
The working group may also determine mechanisms by which attachments (such as images or videos) are either conveyed with or made available within a 9-1-1 call and determine how data provided by applications or devices is made available to and accessed by call takers and responders. Additionally, the group may determine mechanisms (signaling etc.) by which applications and devices place automatic or manual 9-1-1 calls, including situations where the person initiating the call is remote, or gets bridged into a 9-1-1 call.
