4. Statewide 911 board
IC The statewide 911 board is established to develop, implement, and oversee the statewide 911 system. The board is a body corporate and politic, and though it is separate from the state, the exercise by the board of its powers constitutes an essential government function.

5. Funding 2015
Wireless $ 48,758,652* Land line $ 9,772,568 VOIP $ 7,935,219 Prepaid $ 5,778,020 Total $ 72,244,459

6. Distribution
County Government $ 60,778,104 Operating Expense $ 10,222,030 Depreciation $ 10,886 Eligible Expenses Can the county use 911 funds for GIS?

7. Still in use Today – tabular data
Fixed (landline) used civil addresses and ESN (emergency service numbers)
Routing tables were ‘fixed’ and defined by the MSAG (master street address guide)
A 911 call had a civil address, and an ESN for the emergency service (police, EMS, fire)

8. WIRELESS LOCATION Phase 0 or course location
Phase 1 ANI automatic number information
Phase II ALI automatic location information
Long & Lat.
IN911 is Phase II, not all carriers provide the location information.

9. What we need – vs – what we have
A dispatchable address
X / Y coordinates resolved to civil addresses
Accurate location data, with validated information
Accurate call routing
Enhanced phase II location
Indoor location
Highly mobile devices
Legacy MSAG data that is (poorly) maintained
A legacy management system of wireless routing (the wireless traffic plan)
A location update (rebid)
Not yet supported

10. Now emerging – GIS based routing
The device is ‘location aware’
Today using GPS, next using ‘ground based’ data
WiFi signal tracking (enterprise access points are in databases)
Bluetooth beaconing
Broadcast (radio / TV) beaconing
‘Follow me’ applications used by the public

15. Gis – more than a map Preplan Information available
Prioritization of calls
Call distribution
Geofencing high profile locations
Better location information

16. What is the role of GIS in NG911?
NG architecture is dependent upon GIS Transition from legacy networks to IP enabled Support new technologies (SMS, OTT, telematics) Improved location information and call routing

17. What we have is ‘tower centroid’, not as accurate
Where are we today ?
For text-to-911, the device is ‘location aware’, but SMS doesn’t support this service
What we have is ‘tower centroid’, not as accurate
But, text-to-911 is routed using GIS data and PSAP polygons
Small steps, but progress !

24. We get better accuracy with each generation of our work There are:
What happens next ?
We get better accuracy with each generation of our work
There are:
public privacy issues
technology issues
speed of deployment issues
Indiana continues to lead the nation in many areas of 911
(calculating the centroid of a tower sector)
