A new FREE APP for the Android platform is being made available to accompany Next Generation 9-1-1 Secure Text and Video calling demonstrations that are being given at the National Emergency Number Association (NENA®) Conference in Long Beach California between June 9th and 14th 2012.
The Assure911.net and Acme Packet product teams are working together to highlight an important advancement in emergency communications made possible by NENA’s development of a set of standards for Next Generation 9-1-1.
The demonstrations will exhibit the ability to not only route text messages to the appropriate 9-1-1 call taker based on the caller’s geographic location, but also the ability of one of the NG9-1-1 functional elements (FEs), the Border Control Function (BCF), to monitor for important recurring themes in the body of the messages and alert the proper authorities. The cases of a campus bomb scare and a tornado sighting are to be demonstrated. The SMS messages are to be exchanged between an app on an Adroid-based smart-phone and an NG9-1-1 call taker. The position of the originator is obtained using the embedded GPS capability of their device. The BCF logs the event to the Assure911® Network Monitoring platform which in turn alerts a set of mobile devices in the audience, representing the smart-phones of NG9-1-1 system managers.

We are busy supporting NG-911, Inc., and the Counties of Southern Illinois (CSI) responding to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) Pilot Project Application queries.
The queries are stacking up like planes at Chicago O’Hare Airport . We are looking forward to seeing comments from friendly interveners. We need that kind of commentary and support so NG 9-1-1 can move forward in the whole State of Illinois. Our approach has always been one of friendly cooperative negotiations, planning and engineering to build the best possible standards based solution. It has been an exciting journey. Let’s make it a reality! Pat Lustig and Ken Smith and the Board and Members of the 16 ETSBs deserve the best. The citizens of Southern Illinois deserve the best.

Joe Cusimano and Barbara Kemp are co-chairing the NG 9-1-1 Track at the IIT RTCL 8th Annual Conference and Expo in Chicago, Illinois, September 10-12, 2012, for Professor Carol Davids, Director of the IIT RTCL. We are actively accepting applications for speakers, abstracts and topics.
Joe is busy expanding the IIT Main Campus Lab, adding a third NG 9-1-1 ESInet to the school’s capabilities and enhancing the interfaces to the Texas A&M Lab to their ESInet. This means we can demo during the conference. Go to: http://www.rtc-conference.com/, for early registration.
There are Sponsor Spaces available. Tom Costello is working with the sponsors. There are special discounts and early bird registration opportunities. We have fabulous keynote speakers lined up. Henning Schulzrine returns this year to keynote for us as the FCC CTO. If you are interested in Managing a Panel or speaking, contact me or go to the website and submit a paper. I am going to find many of the potential speakers during my visit to the NENA event . We want the freshest topics and leading edge technology on display and to demo at the event! This is a complement to the wonderful work at NENA. Without the NENA standards the students and mentors would have less to test in the lab.
