It is the new reality for 9-1-1 that GIS will play a mission critical role in future systems. In an NG9-1-1 system, GIS will be the mission critical database utilized for location validation and call routing, replacing traditional tabular Master Street Address Guides (MSAG). Merely loading “shapefiles” into a “Location to Service Translation (LoST) server” is not a viable solution for mission critical 9-1-1 systems. GeoComm is equipped to help you in planning and preparing your GIS data for a NG9-1-1 environment. We can help you navigate through all the NG9-1-1 GIS requirements and recommend approaching an NG9-1-1 transition in three steps. These steps are: assess, improve, and maintain.

Empower 9-1-1 and response with game changing GIS data
NG9-1-1 is a game changer for the 9-1-1 community because it utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to deliver every 9-1-1 call – mobile, VoIP, and landline alike – to 9-1-1 communication centers according to a National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) report published in December 2020. Game changers can be profound and disruptive while also producing positive effects. Utilization of GIS in the core of the 9-1-1 system is a game changer. The integrity and accuracy of GIS data is elevated to an entirely new level to meet the standards and recommendations for NG9-1-1 call routing.
