TeleCommunication Systems, a leader in highly dependable and secure mobile communication technology worldwide, announced that the Next Generation 9-1-1 services network for the State of Iowa has entered phase one deployment. This milestone makes Iowa the first state to complete a comprehensive statewide deployment of a National Emergency Number Association (NENA) i3-compliant Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1) system. This cutting edge emergency services network provides an improvement for the public’s access to 9-1-1 by using TCS’s innovative technology and provides the foundation for people in Iowa to eventually transmit text, images, and video to public safety answering points (PSAPs).
Every one of the 119 PSAPs in Iowa are now interconnected within the NG9-1-1 system in accordance with the NENA i3 specifications, making the Iowa network the largest continuous NG9-1-1 network in the United States. All wireless 9-1-1 traffic from wireless telecommunications operators will be sent through the Iowa NG9-1-1 system. Once the communications enter the system, they are processed and routed to the appropriate PSAP. The implementation of the new system allows Iowa’s emergency services network to receive and process requests from legacy and new technologies, while maintaining full compliance with NENA i3 specifications. This deployment is the first phase of a five-year contract with the State of Iowa Homeland Security Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) for NG 9-1-1 systems and services.
TCS’ NG9-1-1 solution offers options to public safety providers that increase control over the system, bypass costly legacy architecture, and deploy the solution as systems, services, or a mix of the two within any existing IP network.
