© NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1

© NENA was founded in 1981 on the principle of “One Nation, One Number,” in order to help assure ubiquitous service across the United States of America Today, 25 years later, that initial vision has largely been realized with better than 99% of the U.S. population now covered by some form of service But, the effort starts anew with current development of NG9-1-1, the IP-based replacement for Enhanced NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1

© The emergency telecommunications landscape is changing quickly all around us Consistent with our Next Generation vision of emergency help accessible anytime, anywhere, from any device, our new association Mission Statement reads: NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1

© NENA’s Mission Statement NENA, through public and private industry partnerships, is committed to the technological advancement, availability, accessibility and implementation of a reliable system for requesting emergency assistance. In carrying out its mission, NENA promotes: research, planning, standards development, training and education. NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1

© NENA has 6,735 current members in both public and private sectors including 1,168 new members in ,181 (about 47%), have been NENA members for at least 5 years 1,136 (about 17%) have been members for at least 10 years NENA has members in 18 countries NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1

© Next Generation E9-1-1 Vision An evolved, fully-functional, Next Generation E9-1-1 system that is accessible anytime, anywhere, from any device.

© What is NG9-1-1 ? An IP-based replacement for E9-1-1 features and functions, supporting all sources of emergency access to the appropriate public safety agency (or agencies), operating on managed, multipurpose IP networks, and providing expanded multimedia data capabilities for PSAPs and other emergency communications entities.

© NENA’s ‘i3’ Solution: The Basis for NG9-1-1 Internet-originated calls/messaging makes the public Internet part of the call path Robust security and authentication between the Internet, the specialized/’private’ IP E9-1-1 Net, and PSAPs. Primary E9-1-1 functions supported ‘virtually’ within the IP network PSAPs will function on a private, managed IP network

© i3 Standards (NG9-1-1 Architecture) Requirements document is done “Stage 2” document brought to a state considered good enough to send out for review by other SDOs, but missing a few key sections Started work on “Appendix A” = Guidelines for the Design of Emergency Services IP Networks Completion of Stage 2 missing sections anticipated within the next couple months

© Location Standards Defining location requirements needed to support NG9-1-1 Provides a set of requirements that can be used by industry forums and standards bodies in the development of standard mechanisms for devices to acquire location information from their service providers Requirements provided on topics such as –  Location determination and acquisition  Location representation  Location Security and Dependability

© Value of Collaboration Emergency services in IP networks is a global issue The NENA NG9-1-1 and location requirements represent the views of the North American public safety community 3GPP2 is currently defining Stage 2 MMD emergency service requirements NENA would like 3GPP2 to consider NENA's i3 work and location requirements NENA already has a close relationships with groups such as IETF and ATIS ESIF A liaison relationship would be beneficial to both NENA and 3GPP2
