NGA Partners With NextNav to Bring Vertical Location to the NG9-1-1 Community
April 21 2022 - 11:46AM
NGA 911, LLC (NGA), the source for complete, customizable and
reliable NG9-1-1 solutions, today partnered with NextNav, a leader
in next generation GPS, to provide actionable vertical location to
its ever-growing public safety client base.
Using the NGA-powered
NGCS ESInet, agencies gain greater situational awareness and
benefit from a common picture of Emergency Communication Centers
(ECCs) in a single framework. Now, NGA’s clients will receive the
most accurate vertical location data, provided by NextNav Pinnacle
and delivered across the geospatially-powered ESInet domain. The
result: NGA will be positioned to natively route floor-level
vertical location data of incoming requests for service across its
ecosystem and display the location in 2D and 3D formats. In turn,
First Responders gain the confidence that they - and those they’re
dispatched to serve - will remain protected in emergency response
instances.
“Gathering precise
location data for 9-1-1 dispatch is critical to ensuring our
solutions provide the most efficient, accurate information for the
agencies we serve,” said Don Ferguson, CEO at NGA. “By working with
NextNav, NGA will be able to continue this commitment and deliver
greater situational awareness, ensuring first responders and the
citizens they serve are better protected. The location intelligence
provided by NextNav Pinnacle is particularly important for calls
requiring a response in urban and suburban areas, where callers are
often within multistory buildings.”
“In working with NGA,
we’re taking a critical step forward in bringing vertical location
technology – a critical component to the Next Generation 9-1-1
(NG9-1-1) ecosystem – to the Public Safety industry,” said Dan
Hight, VP of Business Development). “Through partnerships with
industry leaders like NGA, agencies are gaining accurate vertical
location data and the ability to provide these capabilities to
Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs) in a cohesive fashion.”
The Pinnacle network
delivers precise vertical location in 4,400 cities and towns –
capturing 90% of buildings greater than three stories – in the
United States. NextNav Pinnacle powers applications across the
public safety community to support stronger situational awareness
for first responders. Most recently, a tier-one wireless carrier
selected NextNav Pinnacle to bring z-axis capabilities to wireless
9-1-1 phone calls to enhance caller geolocation and emergency
response outcomes.
