Public Safety NG9-1-1 Solutions

The vision for the Next-Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) network has been defined as a standards-based SIP network that connects PSAPs together and enables voice, data, text and video emergency traffic. Leading industry emergency service providers, working under the umbrella of the NENA i3 standard, have developed and tested interoperable network elements for NG9-1-1.  9-1-1 Authorities and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) now are charged with the planning and implementation of NG9-1-1 networks for city, county and state emergency services networks.

Successful deployment of NG9-1-1 networks requires careful planning and a roadmap of standards-based, i3-compliant components including Emergency Services IP networks (ESInets), IP-based software services and applications, databases and data management processes and transition elements that can interconnect legacy PSAP premise equipment to the NG9-1-1 network.

When combined with RedSky's enterprise E911 solutions including E911 Manager® and E911 Anywhere®, they deliver the industry's only true end-to-end solution for NG9-1-1.

RedSky Horizon^SM Location Information Server

The patented RedSky Horizon^SM Location Information Server (LIS) is the key NG9-1-1 network element for receiving, storing and delivering the location data of any device used to call 9-1-1 during an emergency. This universal location service is designed to fill the void left by the transition from the legacy ILEC-based 9-1-1 ALI database to the i3 NENA Specification environment. RedSky Horizon^SM LIS is unique in its ability to handle both fixed and dynamic location data.

Legacy Gateways

RedSky also has developed two Legacy Gateway products, a Legacy Network Gateway and a Legacy PSAP Gateway, that provide critical transitional capabilities to 9-1-1 Authorities and PSAPs who are managing the migration toward NG9-1-1 in measured, incremental steps.
