“Next Generation 9-1-1: What Will It Really Mean To Me?”
The session covers NG 9-1-1 functionality from the PSAP perspective – how it works, what the changes, costs, and benefits will be, and how to participate in the funding/grant opportunities provided by Congress. There is also a significant focus on NG’s standards-based interoperability between PSAP systems, and the real-world benefits and cost-savings that can be realized as a result. The session is appropriate for Directors, Operations Managers, and top technical (IT, Telecom, Radio comm.) managers.
