The Future of Dispatch, Technology Trends (part 2 of a 3 part series)
1:08:49

Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) promises to provide public safety agencies with more robust multimedia information in the form of voice calls, text messages, data, photos and video that can be used to provide first responders with the information they need most. However, this welcomed upgrade in 9-1-1 information transmission poses a number of unique challenges. For example, what are the optimum input processes that can ensure easy access to the relevant data without overwhelming agency staff?

The Future of Dispatch, Next Generation Dispatching (part 1 of a 3 part series)
1:08:30

Historically, 911 operations have centered around voice communications (and a little bit of text messaging) in terms of both receiving emergency calls for help from the public and sharing information with first responders in the field. Today, video and rich data from a variety of sources—environmental sensors, mapping solutions, surveillance cameras, smartwatches, smart buildings, etc.—can provide lots of situational-awareness information to first responders in the field.

Interoperability – Does the reality match the vision?
1:59:17

The APCO Project 25 digital radio standards suite and NENA’s i3 next-generation 911 architecture are designed in large measure to ensure interoperable communications between disparate systems and equipment. However, market forces often result in the reality regarding interoperability to be quite different than the original vision. In this webinar, an expert panel explores the current state of interoperability. Key questions that will be addressed include:

  • What are end-users’ typical expectations regarding interoperability?
  • What are more realistic expectations, and how can they be achieved?
  • Is it possible that systems and equipment could have proprietary features and still be considered interoperable?
  • What is the current state of P25 and i3 interoperability testing?
  • What are the best practices for ensuring interoperability?

How to Migrate to IP Solutions
1:02:03

Almost all forms of communications are moving to an Internet Protocol (IP) platform, but that doesn’t mean that making the transition to IP is easy. This is especially true for critical-infrastructure entities that must ensure that the reliability of their legacy communications—much of which was based time-division-multiplexing (TDM) technology—is met or exceeded within by new IP systems. Our panelists will discuss key components of making this migration, addressing everything from the beneficial business case to the technical challenges that can be encountered along the way.
