NENA Launches Next-Gen E9-1-1 Program

The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) launched a Next Generation E9-1-1 (NG E9-1-1) Program aimed at encouraging service providers to upgrade the nation's 9-1-1 systems by implementing "next generation" technologies, procedures and best practices .



The NG E9-1-1 Program is organized into three topic Roundtable groups around NENA disciplines and areas of concerns - 1) Technical, 2) Policy, and 3) Operational/Educational. The work of the Roundtables is to identify appropriate supplementary activities that are needed to further the NG E9-1-1 goals, work and principals.



The program is an open consultative process to improve the nation's planning, leadership and innovation in the delivery of a fully functional 9-1-1 system that responds anytime, anywhere, from any device," said Stephen Seitz, NENA's Governmental Affairs Director. http://www.nena.org
