Master Glossary

Document description: 

The NENA Master Glossary is a guide for readers of NENA publications and a tool for members of the NENA committees that prepare them. It defines the terms, acronyms and definitions associated with the 9-1-1 industry. Intended users of this document are any person needing NENA’s definition/description of a 9-1-1 related term.

Use of the “NENA Master Glossary of 9-1-1 Terminology” will:

  • Provide a consistent definition for all definitions and acronyms identified with NENA Standards documents produced by the NENA Committees
  • Reduce the work required to establish definitions for consistently utilized terms and acronyms 

Any Master Glossary questions, comments or suggestions
should be submitted to Sophie Vick

NG9-1-1 Transition Planning Considerations

Document description: 

The public safety community has recognized the need to evolve legacy emergency services networks to next generation concepts which may facilitate new capabilities and services. As such there are numerous industry associations and Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) that are defining architectures and protocols for these next generation networks. The public safety community desires to take advantage of this work and address the challenge it represents to emergency communications. To this end, work is progressing in other NENA committees to define the specific emergency services architectures and protocols involved. The transition of emergency services addressed by this document relies upon this collective work.

Transition to NG9-1-1(?) is expected to be an evolutionary process, involving technological, operational, economic, and institutional change. In some cases, the path to NG9-1-1 implementation will depend on the underlying infrastructure of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)(?) and 9-1-1 Authorities involved. The NG9-1-1 environment may differ considerably from the current 9-1-1 environment.
