Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) is a technology upgrade to the traditional 9-1-1 emergency response system. It aims to improve the speed and efficiency of emergency response by allowing for the transmission of multimedia information (e.g. text, photos, videos) in addition to voice calls. NG9-1-1 also enables the use of internet protocol (IP) networking, which allows for more flexible and reliable communication between emergency call centers and first responders.
