VIDEO: How Next-Gen 911 will work
“911 is the most recognised number in America,” said Steve Souder, former director, Fairfax County 911, Public Safety Communications.
“It is the lifeline by which Americans and residents of the United States can reach out for help 24/7/365.”
The FirstNet public safety mobile broadband network is laying the groundwork for the future integration of NG 9-1-1 technologies to forever change the way telecommunicators do their jobs.
In the NG911 and FirstNet integrated Public Safety Answering Point (PDF), FirstNet is the network solution that provides the pipe that first responders can use to communicate with the most advanced capabilities available today.
This short FirstNet video explains how it will all work.
