CRTC NG9-1-1 Decision
ILECs complete lab trials
ILECs complete NG9-1-1 networks
All TSPs and PSAPs should be NG9-1-1 compliant before this date*
TSPs and PSAPs able to start providing NG9-1-1 Voice to the public*
WSPs able to support NG9-1-1 Text Messaging to the public
ILECs decommission legacy 9-1-1 networks
* Estimate only as PSAPs not under CRTC jurisdiction
PSAPs able to start providing NG9-
1-1 Text Messaging to the public*
**CISC also being requested to provide the CRTC with recommendations on topics such as: technical specs for RTT-based NG9-1-1 Text Messaging; industry best practices and standards related to the reliability, resiliency, and security of NG9-1-1 networks in Canada; the technical details of NG9-1-1 network interconnections; and NG9-1-1 public education campaigns.
Ongoing CISC activities to support the transition to NG9-1-1 (detailed in the decision appendix)**
CRTC 2017- 182 (June 2017)
CRTC approves NENA i3 standards
On Nov 30, 2015, CRTC Telecom Decision 2015-531 approved the ESWG Report ESRE0070 recommending the adoption of the NENA i3 Architecture as the foundation for NG9-1-1 in Canada.

We have a framework to build with!
What drives NG9-1-1 and a call to action?
5
NG9-1-1 is not:
NG9-1-1 is not something you can buy and plug into your existing public safety network, miraculously transforming a legacy environment into a “next generation” environment. And yet, it’s often described that way.
NG9-1-1 can be described as a “solution.” It is comprised of several components, each with a specific Functional Element that provides what the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) describes as a functional framework that provides definitive services that work in harmony. By themselves, any one of these components itself is not “next-generation 9-1-1.”
6
Why NG9-1-1?
Market reasons: 30million wireless subscribers in Canada Citizen expectations and activities are evolving Everyone and everything are getting connected Industry reasons: Fully replace Enhanced 9-1-1, with all capabilities and functions in
place today and be able to scale Add capabilities to support changes for current and new types of
Originating Service Providers Add flexibility for the PSAPs and 9-1-1 Authorities Add capabilities to integrate and interoperate with emergency
entities beyond the PSAP
