With an estimated 54 million people in the United States who have disabilities, over 28 million have hearing loss or speech impairment and may utilize TTYs for telecommunications. This document is a tool for PSAPs to use in the development of TTY training programs. It outlines the recommended elements to be contained within a training program to assist PSAPs with compliance of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This document has been developed to serve as a model standard operating procedure for providing comprehensive training to 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)(?) personnel.

The Managers Guide to the ADA: Title II, Direct Access standard is a tool designed to assist managers in bringing PSAPs into compliance with the ADA. Utilizing this standard will enhance the quality of service provided to the public, including the estimated 28 million people in the United States who have hearing loss.
It is important to remember that the DOJ is the only agency that can determine if the PSAP is in compliance. Therefore, the elements within this standard are to be viewed as “minimum standards” and agencies are encouraged to seek additional information or advice, in addition to this standard.

This NENA Standard defines the use of a Feature Group D like signaling protocol between the E9-1-1 selective routing tandem and E9-1-1 customer premises equipment (CPE) which is called “Enhanced MF Signaling”. This document does not suggest the implementation of Feature Group D trunking - there are tariff issues associated with FGD that do not apply to 91-1. Rather, it recommends borrowing the “off the shelf” MF signaling protocol from Feature Group D in order to facilitate the delivery of one or two ten-digit ANI’s to the PSAP over existing facilities, without creating an entirely new protocol.

This document provides a review of the topics that are associated with the practice of delivering more than one type of an emergency call over the same trunk group into a legacy type E9-1-1 selective router. It describes the market forces leading to the implementation of the practice as well as the technological pros and cons associated with it. The technical and operational implications of the practice are addressed from the perspective of many separate areas, including groups such as the originating service provider, network aggregator, E9-1-1 system service provider, Public Safety Agency (i.e., PSAP management/call takers), and regulatory bodies that govern 9-1-1 operations.

The purpose of this “Femtocel/UMA Technical Information Document” is to describe in technical as well as operational terms the current state of femtocell and UMA deployments with respect to call processing of E9-1-1 calls, and to identify the impacts to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) of receiving and processing calls from femtocells. This TID also describes the current 9-1-1 infrastructure, next generation emergency networks, and discusses integration of femtocells and UMA technologies into those networks. This TID will provide information to allow the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and other interested parties to develop new communications methodologies, standards, and protocols to facilitate emergency communications between users of femtocells/UMA and PSAPs.

This NENA Information Document (NID) discusses a situation that was observed when a Mass Calling Event to 9-1-1 occurred within a Legacy 9-1-1 system provider platform. Investigation by the Network Reliability Steering Committee (NRSC) determined that certain types of Legacy Selective Routers (SR) are susceptible to removing SR to PSAP trunks from service during high call volume events. This document will discuss certain procedures, and policies that NENA, Legacy SR Operators, Public Safety agencies, and other equipment and network providers can do, alone or together, to prevent the SR from removing trunks from service. The Network Reliability Steering Committee (NRSC) created a document outlining their findings. It is ATIS-0100034, which can be located at www.atis.org in the document center. A copy of the recommendations made in ATIS-0100034 is included in Appendix A of this NENA Information Document (NID).

The Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) / Packet Committee’s goal is to identify and solve technical issues relating to call delivery from VoIP sources and migrate existing 9-1-1 technologies into a packet environment for both voice and data. Identified technical issues are handled via Working Groups that are formed to accomplish specific goals, which usually result in some type of official NENA documentation.

Potential Points of Demarcation in NG9-1-1 Networks Information Document, NENA-INF-003, March 21, 2013, has been NENA Board approved and posted to the NENA website. In NG9-1-1 networks, demarcation is not defined exclusively by a physical point of interconnection. NG9-1-1 is built on Internet Protocol (IP) networks which follow the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layered model where points of demarcation can occur independently at different places in different OSI layers. This document’s purpose is to identify points of demarcation, and not to advise on the relative merits of different demarcation options from a regulatory or financial perspective.

Major changes in the existing emergency services architecture are being driven by the rapid evolution of the types of devices and services that can be used to call for help. Also there is an increasing volume and diversity of information that can be made available to assist PSAPs and responders in an emergency. NENA recognizes this is a fundamental update to the North American 9-1-1 system, and is addressing the challenge with a system design called “Next Generation 9-1-1” (NG9-1-1). NG9-1-1 is the evolution of Enhanced 9-1-1 to an all-IP-based emergency communications system. This technical specification, commonly referred to as i3, is the first version of the NG9-1-1 system design.

Getting to the i3 solution from where we are today means that we will have to go through a transition from existing legacy originating network and 9-1-1 PSAP interconnections to next generation interconnections. This document describes how NG9-1-1 works after transition, including ongoing interworking requirements for IP-based and TDM-based PSAPs and origination networks . It does not provide solutions for how PSAPs, origination networks, selective routers and ALI systems evolve. Rather, it describes the end point where conversion is complete. At that point, selective routers and existing ALI systems are decommissioned and all 9-1-1 calls are routed by the ECRF and arrive at the ESInet via SIP. The NENA NG9-1-1 Transition Planning Committee (NGTPC) will produce documents covering transition options and procedures.

This document is intended to be an informative guide and resource for the public and private sector in understanding the nuances and challenges of wide area/large area emergency notification systems and their various uses. It serves to provide information on the differences in the range of these increasingly popular emergency notification systems as a key public safety, emergency communications and emergency management information tool. It is also intended to provide substantive information on the goals and objectives of these systems, and the importance of clearly understanding how these systems may be used, as well as identify (often) overlooked responsibilities of the host agency/system administrator in appropriately specifying, using and managing these systems.

The typical useful life of a public safety answering point (PSAP)(?) in the United States is between twenty (20) and fifty (50) years. As with any fixed asset whose ability to support people, organizations and their operations has diminished, the decision to replace it or upgrade it may eventually have to be made. Research has shown that building or renovating a PSAP is a major undertaking and is often a first-time experience for most executives and administrators.

This document was developed as a recommendation for distribution of ESN changes and additions initiated by 9-1-1 Administrators to ERDB, VPC and ESGW operators in the i-2 VoIP environment, which assumes the use of wireline ESNs for the routing of VoIP calls. Its primary goal is to set expectations and improve communications amongst the parties involved to facilitate the timely implementation of VoIP ESN changes and additions, thereby facilitating the proper routing of VoIP E9-1-1 calls. It also makes recommendations as to how to provide the GIS files that reflect the ESN addition or changes requested. This procedural recommendation will involve technical development work. As such, a short term recommendation is also outlined.
