Emergency Services IP Networks: ESINets and Map Based Location Technology Use
With the proliferation of GPS enabled mobile devices, wireless and VoIP in particular, it is far easier to locate a caller by geographic coordinates when these are provided in the ALI. For PSAP call response, this location information needs to be available to the call taker on an easy-to-use and up-to-date map display. With the requirement for the consumer to provide their address for nomadic VoIP services, the need for cross jurisdictional call transfers becomes a necessity. Map data requirements for systems designed to display all incoming calls, regardless of originating device and delivery technology, will also become more diverse as the geocoding of all consumer provided addresses becomes a necessity. In an NG9-1-1 environment, the key benefit for communications is passing call information across jurisdictional and even LATA boundaries between network connected entities.
Aurora: Management Information System For Next Generation 9-1-1 Solutions
Management information systems (MIS) haven’t always been considered a critical component of the 9-1-1 call center, but that view is changing. The continuing economic downturn and shrinking budgets are forcing local, regional and state governments to find new ways to reduce costs and, for the first time, that includes public safety. The result is that many 9-1-1 call centers are financially challenged, with public safety answering point (PSAP) managers and administrators now having to justify each expense, including new hires, equipment and programs, like never before.
Sentinel Systems & Associated Technology Solutions
PSAPs are consistently looking to increase speed and efficiency along with simplifying the call taking and dispatch process through high quality, dependable equipment. Cassidian Communications provides detailed information on the Sentinel platform call processing solutions to assist in the consolidation of efficiency and effectiveness in today’s progressive PSAPs.
IT Security: A Strategy for Today's PSAP
IT security has become increasingly more prevalent and necessary for PSAPs. Today’s call centers are faced with the daunting task of keeping pace with rapid shifts in technology and the need to process ever-increasing amounts of data. The need to integrate and share data from multiple agencies, sites and/or systems poses a real challenge.

Interoperable Mission Critical Broadband/Narrowband Solution for Public Safety Communications
The need for anytime, anywhere access to information has extended from the general public to the public safety community. The growing requirement for secure access to data intensive resources is driving the demand for a nationwide public safety broadband network. The ability to supplement mission-critical voice services with high-speed wireless data communications will facilitate the sharing of incident-specific information, improving the situational awareness for dispatchers and commanders, both in the field and in the command center, as well as first responders.
Ultimate Wireless Broadband Solution for Public Safety
Seamless data communication across multiple locations and disciplines is crucial during emergencies. To meet this need, public safety practitioners have endorsed Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology as the foundation for wireless networks. Besides offering nationwide interoperability in the 700 MHz band, LTE can support key broadband applications that accelerate response times, improve situational awareness — and increase the safety of all personnel.
