The NENA Recommended Generic Standards for E9‑1‑1 PSAP Intelligent Workstations defines the PSAP Intelligent Workstation (IWS) equipment requirements intended for use by users, manufacturers, and providers of E9-1-1 Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). This standard is a guide for designers and manufacturers of E9-1-1 PSAP equipment. It defines conditions and identifies engineering and technical requirements to be considered before the purchase of such equipment. It may also be of value to purchasers, maintainers, and users of such equipment.
The NENA Standard for NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model defines the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Data Model, which supports the NENA Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Core Services (NGCS) of location validation and routing, both geospatial call routing or to the appropriate agency for dispatch. This model also defines several GIS data layers used in local PSAP and response agency mapping applications for handling and responding to 9-1-1 calls.
