Technology and public safety are merging. Cities are getting smarter every day. The next generation of 9-1-1 communication is already here, and cities and emergency responders can’t afford to wait to upgrade.

1. 5 Reasons Your NG9-1-1 Center Can’t Wait

2. Technology Is Transforming Cities.
Integrated systems create efficiencies and enhance citizen
quality of life. Vastly improved public safety and emergency
communication systems also create big impact in 5 ways.

3. In an emergency, every second counts.
NG9-1-1 systems enable faster delivery
to the correct Public Safety Answering
Point, improve data sharing and call
transfers, and more accurately pinpoint
locations.
1. Faster Response

4. We’re living in a mobile world, but legacy
9-1-1 systems are built on landline phone
networks. Today, people expect the
ability to send emergency notifications by
text, video and third-party applications.
2. User Expectation

5. Improved networks allow better
communication across city and county
lines, and between emergency
departments —police, firefighters,
paramedics and emergency medical
technicians.
3. Collaboration

6. In a legacy 9-1-1 system, if the line is cut,
operations halt, which puts citizens’ and
first responders’ lives at risk. NG9-1-1
networks are integrated, and cloud-
based, for diverse operations and system
reliability.
4. System Stability

7. Legacy 9-1-1 centers retrofit systems with
new hardware and software to keep pace.
In Next-Gen systems, regional technology
sharing saves costs on the back-end,
while local Public Safety Answering Points
remain connected to their local residents.
5. Financial Savings

8. NG9-1-1 Is Already Here.
Technology and public safety are merging. Cities are getting
smarter every day. Is your 9-1-1 communication center
prepared?
