FCC Wants Next-Gen 911 System Prioritized
Sep 22, 2011, 1:15 PM by Eric M. Zeman
The Federal Communications Commission today provided a progress report on its goal of implementing a next-generation 911 emergency response system, which would be built to accept text messages, photos messages, and video messages in addition to standard voice calls. The FCC made an informal commitment to NG911 last month, but has since been catalyzed by the earthquake and hurricane events of August and their effects on wireless networks. The FCC is officially seeking comments on how to quickly introduce support for text, picture, and video message support, while keeping the right balance between voice calls depending on the exigent circumstances (such as during natural disasters). The FCC wants network performance to remain stable, while also being flexible. The effort is expected to take 5 to 10 years and cost several billion dollars.
