Developers of IoT devices, and developers and managers of systems that employ these devices, should consider this document in the early phases of design and development to address the potential impact on 9‑1‑1 operations and to assure that their implementation(s) are effective in their intended emergency notification to 9‑1‑1 services. This document discusses impacts to the operations of 9‑1‑1 system operators and PSAPs caused by emergency calls and data received from IoT devices and apps.
