TECHNICAL COMMITTEE  (06/24/2007)

 
NENA is the premiere public safety industry organization for defining 9-1-1 technical issues and standardizing solutions for technology service providers, equipment manufacturers and industry-related standard setting bodies. NENA has established itself as an industry leader in standardizing technical solutions through its Technical Committees.
 
These standards enable compatibility of 9-1-1 technologies, minimize costs involved in provisioning and maintaining public safety communications, increase the effectiveness of 9-1-1 call handling and emergency response, and promote teamwork among industry providers of public safety products and services.
 
NENA has established this process for defining and solving complex technology issues related to the provision of emergency services. Such technology is inclusive of the hardware, software, private and public safety networks, data and public safety answering point (PSAP) apparatus used for emergency communications.
 
The roles and responsibilities of individuals and committees involved in the development, review and approval process for creation of the standards are well defined in NENA Standard 01-001, which may be downloaded at the link below.
