Brewer questions Verizon's role in 911 contracting
Brewer asks about Verizon's role. Barbera explains the city is in a hybrid state between E911 and NextGen 911: Verizon is the primary E911 provider, Motorola is the primary NextGen vendor. Once migration completes, E911 will be decommissioned and Verizon's role reduced to communication services.
Okay.
You mentioned Verizon also in your statement.
What role do they play in the contracting, if at all?
I will defer.
To my colleague, Rob Bumr.
Thank you for the question.
Because the city's 911 environment is currently in a hybrid state between E911 and NextGen 911, Verizon is still the primary service provider on the E911 side,
while Motorola is the primary vendor on the NextGeneration 911 side.
Okay, so ostensibly one contract, Verizon might be moved on if in fact it's just
Future contract, right?
Or we don't know yet.
Would Verizon continue in the next generation?
No.
So once the migration is complete to next generation 911, the E911 system will be decommissioned and Verizon's role will be reduced to communication services.
Okay, that's what I was trying to ask about.
