Brewer questions what NextGen 911 will improve
Brewer asks what NextGen 911 will do differently. Gelobter explains E911 is legacy and analog, while NextGen 911 introduces digital systems that should streamline processes, improve logging, tracking, analysis, and alerting. Phase one rollout is the priority before additional modern features.
Now, the next gen, which is obviously next year, what will that do that would be helpful in this situation?
Obviously, it's not ready yet.
You don't know.
But what are we planning that...
I thought it was started in Bloomberg.
I thought it was before 2020, but okay.
What is the big deal about next gen?
So next gen, so E911, which is the part of the system that we're on.
Now is legacy and it does need to be updated.
It also really relies on analog systems and next gen 911 introduces digital systems to it.
And so it should streamline the process, allow for
better logging and tracking and analysis and alerting.
And I think that once it is rolled out, I think once phase one is rolled out, it also then lends itself to the possibility of additional kind of more progressive and more modern features.
We need to focus on getting phase one rolled out.
Okay, so then the other question I have is just in terms of training for these systems, how does, you know, obviously hard to train for this outage situation, but what
