Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

The number of sub-state 9-1-1 authorities having responsibility for planning, coordinating, funding, and supporting 9-1-1 in their respective jurisdictions. 9-1-1 authorities are typically a county/parish, municipality, Council of Government, or special 9-1-1 or emergency communications district.

9-1-1 authorities in most states will be differentiated from PSAPs, which in some states will be the same but in most states are not.

4.1.2.4.1: Number of Counties with No 9-1-1 Authority

Instructions: Enter the number of counties in your state that have no 9-1-1 authority.

The intent of this Order was to ensure that all 9-1-1 calls would get answered. These types of arrangements do not use dedicated 9-1-1 trunks. Carriers comply by using remote call forwarding. Remote call forwarding simply forwards a 9-1-1 call to a 10-digit telephone number, usually an existing emergency telephone number for the local or county law enforcement agency. This arrangement does not constitute 9-1-1 "service."

Only include those counties that have no 9-1-1 Authority.

The delivery of a wireless 9-1-1 call with Phase I requirements, plus location of the caller within 125 meters 67% of the time and Selective Routing based upon those coordinates. Subsequent FCC rulings have redefined the accuracy requirements."

Include all 9-1-1 authorities that provide Wireless Phase II LOS. This specifically addresses PSAP capability, not wireless service provider capability.

Reporting this data element does require (or depend upon) a state reporting entity collecting such data from sub-state 9-1-1 authorities. Said parts, functions, or components are described in data element 4.2.2.1 above.

Percent must be between 0 and 100

4.2.2.9.1 to 4.2.2.9.2: Agreements (Capacity and Service Level) that Have and Have Not Been Reached with Originating Service Providers

Instructions: Provide a list of originating service providers that have and have not executed agreements with your state. Enter information with comma or carriage returns below.

Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

4.3.3.9.1: The data element asks reporting states to provide a list of originating service providers with whom signed agreements have been reached for each state (or appropriate jurisdiction), where such agreements are necessary to insure consistent and reliable 9 1 1 service.

This element may also require states to gather supporting information from sub-state 9 1-1 authorities, depending upon the state 9-1-1 institutional environment involved. Enter information with commas between entries.

4.3.3.9.2: This data element asks states to provide a list of originating service providers with whom no agreements are in place. This will vary from state to state. Data included from this element will be used to help identify states that are having difficulty with certain carriers/providers.

Enter information with commas between entries.

Providors with Agreements

Providors without Agreements

4.2.3.1: Percentage of NG9-1-1 Authority Systems that Can Process and Interpret Location and Caller Information

Instructions: Enter the percentage of NG9-1-1 authority systems that can process and interpret location and caller information within your state.

Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

This data element reflects the percentage of 9-1-1 authority systems in each state that can process a NG9-1-1 emergency call on a service-by-service basis for all service types. Specifically, this is the percentage of total 9-1-1 authorities in a state that have implemented full function NG9-1-1 systems. Systems not being converted would not factor into this element.

"Full function" would exclude areas with issues in obtaining location information, caller information, and being able to control certain features (including call-back capabilities), as well as being able to interpret the location (map on a GIS system) and invoke the necessary features (e.g., call back if disconnected) for each mode of incoming call.

Based on the exception percentage of not fully capable systems, this data element may help (indirectly) identify certain calling modes that may need changes or enhancements to be able to provide full featured emergency calling.

4.2.3.2: Percentage of the Total State Population Served by NG9-1-1 Services

Instructions: Enter the percentage of population served by IP-capable services within your state.

Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

Similar to data element 4.2.3.1, this element reflects the percentage of the population for a reporting state served by IP-capable services meeting industry-accepted definitions for NG9-1-1.

See element 4.2.3.1 for additional descriptive detail.

4.2.3.3: Percentage of the Geographical Area of a State Served by NG9-1-1 Services

Instructions: Enter the percentage of geographical area served by IP-capable services within your state that meet industry-accepted definitions of NG9-1-1.

Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

Similar to data element 4.2.3.2, this data element specifically reflects the percentage of geographic area served (as opposed to population) by NG9-1-1 services. Data from this will help differentiate progress for those jurisdictions that have dense urban populations, and reflect IP-capable services meeting industry-accepted definitions for NG9-1-1. They may be serving a large percentage of the population but may be serving a very small geographic portion of the state. This metric could indirectly help gauge progress for rural areas.

See elements 4.2.3.1 and 4.2.3.2 for additional descriptive detail.

4.2.4.1: Percentage of the Planned NG9-1-1 Systems (as identified in the State's Architecture) that are Operational for NG9-1-1 Call-taking

Instructions: Enter the percentage of planned NG9-1-1 systems in your state that are operational and can process IP-based emergency requests.

Detailed Description: (click to hide/show description)

The relative state/jurisdiction's architecture should show how many 9-1-1 authority systems are planned for processing all the IP-based emergency requests (over the entire jurisdiction/population) within a NG9-1-1 environment.

This is relative to the total number of 9-1-1 systems in the state.

4.2.4.2: Percentage of the NG9-1-1 Systems that Can Coordinate Directly with External Organizations

Instructions: Enter the percentage of NG9-1-1 systems in your state that can coordinate directly with external organizations over an IP-based network.
