Next Generation 911 Resources for 2022
As a leading provider of NG9-1-1, NGA is here to be a complete resource that PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) and other emergency response agencies can rely on when it comes to all things Next Generation 911.
At NGA, we believe that more information can mean a smoother transition to NG911, and that’s why we’ve created this comprehensive resource guide for Next Generation 911 in 2022.
NG911: The Basics
At its most basic, Next Generation 911 is a...

Did you know that around 240 million emergency calls are made to 911 telecommunications organizations in America each year? More U.S. states are implementing NG9-1-1 systems to help PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) manage emergency calls in their communities with technology that can process and interpret 911 caller phone numbers and location information.
With the NG911 (Next Generation 911) initiative underway, states and local governments are deploying the NG911 systems according to th...

As PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) and other emergency response telecommunication centers across America transition to NG9-1-1, this conversion will likely involve public safety organizations using both NG911 and E911 for a short time. With NG911 standards changing the course of agency response, the need for more reliable and accurate public safety services is vital.
But, what is NG911? What is E911? And what is the difference between these two 911 systems?
In this blog, ou...
