 ECDs  Alabama Wireless Board  Carriers  inetwork, a division of bandwidth.com  Alabama Supercomputer Authority (ASA)  Center for Advanced Technologies – Auburn University Montgomery Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN Partners

 One-time Costs  DOT Grant + ECD Match = $1.9M  On-going costs – AWB Cost Recovery Fund  IP Network – ASA  Core Call Handling Components – inetwork  See later discussion of Phase III Costs ANGEN Cost Structure Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

 inetwork connects to tandems  Wireless Carriers connect to inetwork  Huntsville & Montgomery for redundancy  Testing – will involve all PSAPs  Live calls route via ANGEN – November 1, 2012  Carrier -> inetwork -> LEC SR -> PSAP still routed to PSAP via existing cama trunks  Allows Carriers to drop connections to SR / Tandems Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN Phase I

 ASA begins connecting PSAPs to Core via IP  2MB Ethernet in most locations  May be a few exceptions with T1 due to cost  Calls begin to route via ANGEN rather than LEC SR  Carrier -> inetwork -> PSAP via IP  Back-up = inetwork -> Selective Router -> PSAP  Expected to take several months to convert 82 ECDs  6 not participating at this time Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN Phase II

 1 st – PSAPs that can accept a direct IP connection  2 nd – PSAPs that need a Legacy Network Gateway  IF a PSAP will get IP capable equipment soon…  Wait to install ANGEN rather than spend $ on LNG  Also saves labor to install and then convert Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN – IP Installation

 Wired & VoIP Carriers connect to ANGEN Core  Calls delivered to PSAPs via IP  Once all carriers convert – disconnect cama circuits  Many ECDs will want a backup IP connection  This will not occur before 2014 ~ mid year at earliest… Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN Phase III

 Cost Structure – next Board’s Decision  “Probably” – based on percentage of wired / wireless Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN PHASE III – Cost Structure? ITEMCost Estimate ASA – Network$1,200,000 Inetwork – core components$828,000 TOTAL$2,028,000 70% Wireless – Cost Recovery$1,419,600 30% Wired – By ECDs$608,400 (divided by population)

 Now – Installing circuits to Selective Routers  Now – Installing and testing Core Components  Now – Meeting with Carriers  November 1, 2012 – Phase I / Live Calls  Will not be all carriers  1 st Quarter 2013 – Start Phase II installed IP to PSAPs  3 rd Quarter 2013 – Finish installing IP to PSAPs  2014 – Start Phase III Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network ANGEN – Timetable
