NGA 911 Launches Next Generation 9-1-1 Testbed for Canadian Public Safety Agencies

TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NGA 911 LLC recently began Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) testing with a Canadian first responder agency. In the world of Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies, it is essential that public safety communications agencies get hands-on experience on how Next Generation 9-1-1 capabilities will function.  The NGA 911 testbed provides a secure platform for running thousands of detailed tests. The advantage of using the testbed is that it removes all the ambiguities and misunderstandings among the various telecommunications providers, the existing 9-1-1 carriers, Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), and equipment vendors by providing the opportunity of a "hands-on", collaborative experience.

To assist the transition to this new technology, NGA 911 maintains a complete, customizable suite of Next Generation 9-1-1 Core Services (NGCS) operating from a secure cloud environment.  These services form a testbed which can be quickly connected to a variety of NENA i3-compliant 9-1-1 call answering positions from different vendors. The testbed, combined with NGA 911's experience and knowledge, as well as an extensive set of test and evaluation tools, will be used to assist PSAPs with the transition from their current outdated (legacy) 9-1-1 call delivery system to a more efficient and reliable Internet Protocol (IP)-based technology. The new call delivery networks are known as Emergency Services IP Networks (ESInets) which use the latest standards and capabilities provided by Next Generation 9-1-1 Core Services (NGCS) to deliver multimedia calls to the PSAP.

NGA 911 CEO Don Ferguson said, "We have found that there is a lot of confusion about Next Generation 9-1-1, so we created a testbed where all the stakeholders can get hands-on experience and figure out how things really work. We look forward to collaborating with PSAPs, carriers, and vendors across North America for a smooth transition to the new Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies."
