Next Generation 911 involves the transformation of our 911 system from an old analog one to the new digital internet based architecture. The evolution of NG911 opens up a host of new opportunities to improve the system. This includes everything from device based location, to real time text. This can improve location accuracy dramatically as well as provide live updates from the citizen in need along with real time sensor updates. There is also the opportunity to provide multi-media attachments and medical records if the end user approves. This digital transformation and enhancements all require the support of new NENA and CRTC standards, along with integration across a variety of data streams.
This presentation will focus on how FME has supported NG911 transformations to date, and how we are positioning FME to support the enhanced capabilities to come. This session will be of interest to emergency services, municipalities and anyone who may be interested to know more about how emergency services are being improved to provide more accurate, localized information in order to improve the speed and relevance of emergency response and ultimately save more lives and provide better outcomes for those in need.
