NENA Next Generation Transition Planning Committee
Scopes/Goals/Direction/Status - UPDATE 12/1/2014

Next Generation Transition Planning Committee (NGTPC) / SCOPE/GOAL: NG9-1-1 is defined as the next evolutionary step in the development of the 9-1-1 emergency communications system known as E9-1-1 that has been in place since the 1970s. NG9-1-1 is a system comprised of managed IP-based networks and elements that augment present-day E9-1-1 features and functions and add new capabilities. NG9-1-1 will eventually replace the present E9-1-1 system. NG9-1-1 is designed to provide access to emergency services from all sources, and to provide multimedia data capabilities for PSAPs and other emergency service organizations. There will be a multi-year transition to NG9-1-1. Work has already begun in some regions that are putting in place IP infrastructures. In order to supporttransition planning, the NGTPC has published the secondversion of a Transition Plan. The Transition Plan includes the beginning points (i.e. the legacy environment) and the ending points (i.e. the NG9-11 environment). It outlines options for network and data transition to NG9-1-1.
The thirdversion of the Transition Plan will focus on operational considerations for the transition. This effort is just beginning and will require participation of many of the NENA committees and working groups.
DIRECTION: The primary objective of the NGTPC is to identify technical and operational gaps in the transition to NG9-1-1 and make recommendations on how to mitigate those gaps These recommendations are targeted at Public Safety Authorities and other stakeholders to assist them in moving from each 9-1-1 system and service environment starting point to NG9-1-1. These recommendations include the related actions needed to enable transition to a fully capable NG9-1-1 service.
CURRENT STATUSas of12/1/2014:
Version 2 of the Transition Plan has been approved and is on the NENA.org website.
The committee has begun the third leg of the transition plan which will focus on the operational implications of the transition to NG9-1-1. This effort will be sheparded by NGTPC with involvement from other committees and working groups that have operational experience. Each committee chair has been asked to review their committee documents to identify potential gaps relating to the transition to NG9-1-1.

The Transition Plan includes the beginning points (i.e. the legacy environment) and the ending points (i.e. the NG9-11 environment and recommendations for transition to NG9-1-1, and identified the gaps between them.
CURRENT STATUS as of 12/1/2014:
The TPC has published the second version of The Transition Plan. Updates to the Plan specifically focused on data transition. Current work on the next version of the document is focusing on the operational impacts of transition, and that work is currently being organized. The result of that process may involve new workgroups, or may task existing WGs focusing on operational matters.
Estimated Completion Date:1st Quarter, 2015
