• Abstract:
  The nation’s current 9-1-1 system is designed around outdated telephone technology and cannot handle the text, data, images, and video that are common in personal communications and critical to future safety and mobility advances. In addition, 9-1-1 call centers cannot transfer calls from one call center to another when call volume exceeds the available resources. The nation’s 9-1-1 system is in need of a significant overhaul. By capitalizing on recent technology advances, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has produced a design and transition plan for a next-generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system. The NG9-1-1 Initiative has established the foundation for public emergency communications services in a digital, Internet-based society.
