Review of the NG9-1-1 Program
Objective
 To achieve Baseline Next Generation 9-1-1 Status
 Emergency Services IP network
 GIS Data to support validation and call delivery
 Publication of authoritative validation databases and location
information servers
 Geospatially controlled call delivery
 Ability to control routing based on PSAP policy
 Ability to interconnect with other NG9-1-1 systems &
interwork with E9-1-1 systems
 Support for system monitoring/logging/discrepency reporting
to troubleshoot operation
The ESInet
Emergency Services IP Network
(ESInet)
 ESInet has been deployed for 15 of the 22 PSAPs
 Fully Deployed PSAPs (All calls delivered via ESInet)
Williams/Williston
Pembina
Walsh
Traill
Richland

McLean
Emergency Services IP Network
(ESInet)
 Partially Deployed (All wireless calls delivered via ESInet but
some wireline trunks still bypass ESInet)

Where are we at in the Transition?
Call Flow Transition
GIS Data to Support Validation and
Call Delivery
GIS Data to support Validation and Call
Delivery
 Have begun migration towards GIS-based 9-1-1 database
maintenance
 First Step – Create a common GIS Database
 Second Step – Create a common MSAG
 Third Step – Implement a common ALI Database
 Last Step – Implement NG9-1-1 Functional Elements
GIS Data to support Validation and Call
Delivery
 First Step – Create a common GIS Database
 The Seamless Basemap Project, complete in October of 2015
 Second Step – Create a common statewide MSAG
 Unenhanced/Local vs. Intrado ALI Database
 MSAG development prioritized for
 Counties with unenhanced status
 Enhanced counties with local ALI databases
 Counties with GIS data availability from seamless basemap project
• Third Step – Implement a common ALI Database
 Done in sequence with common MSAG development
MSAG Phase One (outlined in BLACK)
MSAG Phase Two (outlined in BLACK)
MSAG Phase Three (outlined in BLACK)
GIS Data to support Validation and Call
Delivery
 More details on MSAG activity to come in next presentation!!
Geospatially Controlled Call
Delivery
Geospatially-Controlled Call Delivery
 Will start with Text-to-9-1-1
 Point in Polygon analysis
 Based on Cell Sector Centroid and PSAP boundary
 Will become more geospatially controlled in the future.
 Need GIS to be complete statewide first
 Need 9-1-1 Service Provider to set up ECRF/LVF
 Need Carriers to use ECRF/LVF for validation and call routing.
Text-to-911 Coverage
and Text-Capable PSAPs
Note: All areas of ND will have
text to 911 service except for
Sioux. Sioux will be covered when
SD deploys it’s text-to-911 service.
Text-to-911 Call Routing 101
Call would route to
RRRDC
Text-to-911 Call Routing 101
Call would route to
Bismarck / Burleigh
Combined
Communications
Center
Ability to Interconnect with E9-1-1
and other NG9-1-1 networks
Ability to Interconnect
(NG9-1-1 & E9-1-1)
 Calls still transfer between PSAPs on the ESInet and PSAPs that
are not.
 Testing underway between ND / MN for call transfers along the
state boundary.
 Common ESInet vendor makes this relatively easy
 Developing a template for other PSAPs to use
 9-1-1 Program Office created an “Interstate Playbook” working
group to help create methodology for other states re: state to state
transfers
 ND, MN, SD, IA
 Will provide guidance for how to Interconnect between states
 With a common NG9-1-1 System Service Provider
 Without a common NG9-1-1 System Service Provider
 Interim IP-based E9-1-1 methods and NG9-1-1 methods
Support for System Monitoring
Support for System Monitoring /
Logging/ Discrepancy Reporting
 CenturyLink Control Center
 For network connections from Legacy Selective Router through
the ESInet to the PSAP
 Circuit Management & Testing
 Repair Tickets
 Network Performance
 Intrado ClearView
 Monthly TN Census, ALI retrieval, ANI failure reports
 System performance, No record found, SOI reports
 Anything reports relating to calls and ALI
