NG911 to Revolutionize Public Safety Capabilities as Next-gen Stakeholders Accelerate Market Growth

SANTA CLARA, Calif.andnbsp;Next-generation 911 (NG11) represents an industry transformation that will proactively enhance public safety by catering to rapidly evolving demands, products, lifestyles, and technologies among citizens. Frost andamp; Sullivan research indicates that approximately 85 percent of 911 calls originated from mobile devices in 2016, a statistic that is only expected to increase in coming years. The pervasiveness of smartphones, which accounted for 80 percent of mobile phone connections in 2016, and is anticipated to represent nearly 95 percent by 2020, is driving a diverse set of consumer communication exchanges including text, data, photos and video. In this rapidly evolving environment, public answering safety points (PSAPs) have been challenged to keep up with the pace of innovation. As technology transforms consumer communications behaviours, the public safety sector is obligated to conform by updating legacy systems with NG911 solutions that can support all forms of IP based emergency communications.
