| UPDATE FROM CHRIS WOOTEN |
|
|
Dear NICE customer, The world of emergency communications, as we know it, is on the brink of immense change. Consider that someday soon, a call to 9-1-1 might not be a call in the traditional "voice" sense at all. Instead, it might be a real-time text message sent from a PDA, a Video Relay Service (VRS) communication from a hearing impaired caller, an emergency alert generated by a medical device or central alarm, or an automatic crash notification delivered to the PSAP by way of a third party telematics response center. A wireless 9-1-1 voice call might even be accompanied by streaming video of an accident scene, or a still picture of a suspect vehicle. Welcome to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1), 9-1-1 for an IP-centric and multimedia saturated world. It's not here yet - but it's coming. The groundwork is already being laid for NG 9-1-1. Considering this development and other multimedia trends - such as the growing role of surveillance video in ensuring security and safety - agencies are scrambling for better ways to capture, manage and analyze what, in just a few short years, could turn into mountains of multimedia information. Is your operation ready to tackle the next big thing in 9-1-1? I invite you to read the feature article in this month's issue of NICE News Special Edition at www.nice.com/news/7_04s/multimedia.php to learn more.  |

| TACKLING THE NEXT BIG THING IN 9-1-1: MULTIMEDIA |
|
|
Not since the first 9-1-1 call was placed more than three decades ago has public safety communications been on the threshold of greater change. The convergence of voice and data over wireless and IP networks has put 9-1-1 at a crossroads. Staggering numbers of cell phones, wireless devices, coupled with high consumer adoption of Voice over IP is opening up a whole new world of multimedia communications. Examples also abound where law enforcement officials are using multimedia evidence, such as video surveillance footage, to crack cases and win convictions. As these trends accelerate, public safety operations face a new challenge - how to capture, manage and make sense of all of this multimedia information. Read More >> |
