NENA is the Voice of 9-1-1


NENA was founded in 1981 on the principle of “One Nation, One Number,” in order to help assure ubiquitous 9-1-1 service across the United States of America

Today, 27 years later, that initial vision has largely been realized with better than 99% of the U.S. population now covered by some form of 9-1-1 service, mostly E9-1-1

But, the effort started anew in 2001 with the NENA Future Path Plan and in 2003 with the start of development of NG9-1-1, the IP-based replacement for Enhanced 9-1-1



NENA has 7000+ current members in both public and private sectors - members in 18 countries

NENA was founded to include both Public Safety and 9-1-1 Industry membership - Still the only organization dedicated to dealing with all aspects of 9-1-1 systems and service

- NENA has the real world experience and 9-1-1 operations knowledge for 9-1-1 standards- NENA is the 9-1-1 service expert- Various other SDOs are experts in technology application

How the NENA Development Process Works

The NENA Committee process is in flux, largely driven by NG9-1-1 work

Many current and future Working Groups under various Committees

Joint Technical and Operations work groups are becoming the norm

The Committees are volunteer in nature, with volunteers as Chairs, similar to many SDOs

Oversight is by NENA Staff Directors

Committee development work is based on recognized or referred problems for traditional 9-1-1, and by recognition and design for NG9-1-1 development

There is a designed development , review and approval process for all formal NENA documents (documented on www.nena.org) Technical Requirement documents (TRD)

Technical Standards, Technical Information documents

Operations Standards, Operations Information documents

Use of Standards

NENA uses and coordinates with existing standards

IETF RFCs, TIA (J-STD-036), ATIS, 3GPP, OGC, URISA, and various other originating service SDOs

The consumers of NENA standards and documents include:

- Originating Service Providers

- Carriers

- Vendors

- Integrators

- 9-1-1 Authorities

- PSAPs

The Status of NG9-1-1 Development

The Project currently includes 90+ major development activities & subtasks

Covers technical, system and PSAP operations development, education, policy evolution, testing, certification, First Application, and transition actions

Interactive with IETF and APCO

The Project is resource limited, and volunteer time limited

About 45% of the Project activities have identified Leader resources

It take added resources and time to be fully ready to implement NG9-1-1 in the USA

The NENA NG9-1-1 Project lead team is currently evaluating people and money requirements needed to complete in the 2009-2010 timeframe

Technical Issues NG9-1-1 requirements definition largely complete Still needed:

Greater convergence of efforts, a common path Increase focus on completion of design, trials, demos

and applications of NG E9-1-1 systems Increase involvement of public safety and other

governmental entities

Accelerate work on national standards Develop plans and funding for national trials and

demonstrations of IP-based E9-1-1 designs Communicate technical solutions, plans, and timelines

to all interested parties


Policy Issues Inadequate, unreliable financial support of locally managed 9-1-

1 systems

Expanding role of 9-1-1 Heightened consumer expectations Partner in homeland security Embedded in larger Emergency Communications space

Public policy at risk of falling behind the times

Assist in developing national E9-1-1 policy for Next Generation communications Regulatory, legislative

Address jurisdictional issues

Convene funding summits and advance solutions


Operational/Educational Issues PSAPs unable to handle, much less take

advantage of, communications advancements Speed of new developments makes it challenging

to keep operational policies, procedures, education and training up-to-date

Develop operational policies and procedures for the Next Generation PSAP (IP-based)

Provide assistance, research and other input to PSAPs dealing with emerging communications services

Focus on needs of people with disabilities Develop educational materials and programs for all

parties involved
