First Generation and Next Generation 911 Analog to IP Based Digital Network

States Implementing NG911 Systems

Indiana’s Next Generation 911 Indiana 199 Indiana PSAPS – 2/14/08

Project Crossroads Objectives Install 2 redundant selective routers to receive all incoming calls from wireless service providers. Connect all wireless service providers to the network. Direct calls to the PSAPs by way of their existing routers. Provide network administrative control including call statistics and trouble checking capability. Establish a wireless network that is statewide and independent of the wireless service providers.

Project Crossroads

Objectives A system running on a redundant statewide fiber network. Direct routing access from the two selective routers to all PSAPs. All PSAPs connected to the IP backbone via Cisco Routers and T1 Lines. Voice and data delivery over a common IP based network: Voice, Text, Instant Message, GIS Data, Images. Centrally administrated statewide NG911 network with call statistics, trouble resolution, and continuous system analysis.

Fully Implemented IP Based Wireless NG911 Network

Project Implementation 2006 to Present

Indiana’s Next Generation 911 New First Responder Capabilities Voice, Text, Instant Messages, Images, and GIS Data will be able to be sent to the PSAP, and forwarded to the first responder in the field as well. Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Automatic Location Identification (ALI) will be able to be sent directly to the first responder in real time. First responders will also be able to use this technology to send GIS data, text, and instant messages to each other as they converge on a scene.

Data from Car to PSAP to First Responder

Boy on a Bus Kosciusko County September 27, :20 AM 7 year old boy calls 911 Dispatch on a cell phone and says he is “locked in his uncle’s trunk and there was a fire outside”. He makes five subsequent calls. 911 tracks each call and determines they are being made from a moving school bus. Location and other information are displayed on the GIS map of first responders as they follow the bus. The school is called. Boy arrives at school to be met by the Principal and law enforcement. Prank call thwarted by Next Generation 911.
