“Funding for Next Generation 9-1-1”
Next Generation technology promises to revolutionize E911 as we know it. We have all heard about the future with text messaging or video to 911, and we have seen charts and diagrams of the underlying IP infrastructure. But how will we pay for Next Gen? This presentation will review the various options available, relying upon the NENA Next Generation White Paper for this subject.
