Most 9-1-1 agencies know what an internet browser is. However, not many understand what NG9-1-1 is and how to transition. Almost every public safety agency is trying to figure out all the implications of next generation emergency. I have met with many customers who ask similar questions: does the solution I purchased today work for tomorrow’s standard? As Text-to 9-1-1 advances, can my command center software easily adapt? Are future standard enhancements included in my maintenance agreement? Is the system flexible to address future standard requirements?
The transition to a next generation call system can involve an ample amount of work. Overall, agencies must be ready to plan out budgeting, technical preparation, operational planning, governance issues and more.
As you look to integrate NG9-1-1 into your emergency communications center, CallWorks, can answer ‘YES’ to all those questions. CallWorks provides an innovative, browser based NG9-1-1 offering that converges call taking, dispatch and mapping, together. As an integrated part of the Motorola Solutions software enterprise, CallWorks continually adapts to the latest NG9-1-1 standards.
What’s the benefit of a browser based NG9-1-1 solution?
It is a reliable, repeatable system with reduced deployment time at an affordable price. Flexibility is inherently built into the browser-based solution, allowing it to be implemented on-site or hosted and scaled to the size of an organization. Want to add a new position or a new site? It’s easy to do.
Because the NG9-1-1 standard is constantly evolving, the other real benefit of a browser based solution is the ease of upgrade to future standard requirements. With an ongoing maintenance agreement, your system is protected. There will not be any unforeseen software expenses to meet future standard requirements, such as text to 9-1-1 with an appropriate service plan.

In 2015, Motorola Solutions purchased Emergency CallWorks to provide customers with a proven browser based solution.

It is still the same reliable, customer driven software, developed by the same people with the same relentless customer service trusted by public safety organizations.
