Print this Article | Send to Colleague
NENA seeks volunteers for the IP-Based MLTS Considerations Working Group Working Group to develop vendor-neutral configuration guidance and reference architectures that assist MLTS and UCaaS system operators in achieving functional compliance with Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) standards.
As NG9-1-1 deployments increase across jurisdictions, enterprise and cloud-based communication platforms face growing pressure to support not only basic E9-1-1 mandates (per Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’S Act), but also dynamic location delivery, multimedia compatibility, and proper data formatting for use within NG9-1-1 core services (e.g., ECRF, ESRP, and PIDF-LO) via their Originating Service Provider (OSP).
The Working Group’s responsibility is to define actionable best practices that MLTS operators, service providers, and PSAPs can use to assess, configure, and validate their systems against evolving NG9-1-1 interoperability requirements. Ideally, working group membership will include:
- Participants with PSAP and dispatch operations experience.
- Technical experts with knowledge of SIPForum SIPConnect 2.0 standard and Inside Locations.
- MLTS (vendors, operators, OSPs) Providers
- NGCS Providers
- Participants with experience in the deployment and support of 9-1-1 industry products and services.
- Participants with experience writing technical requirements.
The first meeting of the working group will be on November 5, 2025. Meetings will be held on Wednesdays from 2PM - 3PM Eastern.
