NENA North American 9-1-1 Resource Database

Posted bynena-9-1-1

The National PSAP Registry is now being integrated and expanded into what is now called “The North American 9-1-1 Resource Database.” This central database will continue to fulfill the NPR’s original purpose for supporting PSAP personnel to locate and contact other PSAPs during critical call transfer situations.

Additionally, a recent FCC order requiring VoIP 9-1-1 call delivery presented an opportunity to reinforce NENA as the trusted source for critical 9-1-1 information. The order generated the need for a single database inter-relating PSAP and Selective Router (`E9-1-1 Tandem’) information. A new “9-1-1 System Reference Guide,” composed of information included in the expanded North American 9-1-1 Resource Database, will facilitate service provider FCC compliance and each PSAP’s strong need to maximize emergency 9-1-1 call delivery on dedicated 9-1-1 trunks and minimize emergency calls on 10 digit lines.

Currently the 9-1-1 Resource Database has two products available, the National PSAP Registry and the 9-1-1 System Reference Guide.  Click on the appropriate name below for more information and to inquire about access.
