RA'ANANA, Israel, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced
that it will be demonstrating its Next Generation 9-1-1 Solutions
in booth #635 at the NENA 2013 Conference & Expo. NICE's Next
Generation 9-1-1 solutions ensure that Public Safety Answering
Points (PSAPs) will be ready to address the challenges of capturing
and managing NG9-1-1 communications in any form, including voice,
text, video and telematics. NENA 2013 will take place on
June 15-20 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
At the event, NICE will share its vision of the future PSAP,
explaining how Big Data can be harnessed to improve real-time
situational awareness, emergency response, and post-event
investigation. In the not-too-distant future, PSAPs will also be
able to tap into a U.S. nationwide broadband network that will
enable access to other data sources such as fixed and mobile video,
License Plate Recognition (LPR), and weather alerts.
NICE will demonstrate its flagship NG9-1-1 solution, NICE
Inform, which allows PSAPs to blend 9-1-1, radio, screen
recordings, and other multimedia with video (from CCTV,
smartphones, and in-car cameras) to create seamless incident
timelines for investigation purposes. NICE Inform was designed to
address the transition of PSAPs to NG9-1-1 and the natural
progression toward hosted solutions that leverage shared IP
infrastructure. For example, IP recordings, video, and other
multimedia hosted in a central location can be securely accessed
and managed through NICE Inform, providing participating PSAPs with
rich NG9-1-1 functionality at a lower cost.
"The public safety market is evolving rapidly, as evidenced by
the recent FCC announcement that text-to-9-1-1 services will be
available by mid-2014," said Eric
Hines, Vice President of the NICE Security Group. "Our
advanced solutions provide the innovative technologies needed to
help organizations meet the immediate changes in the public safety
landscape and prepare themselves to seamlessly transition to
full-scale NG9-1-1 when the time comes. By remaining ahead of the
market trends, our customers are best positioned to respond to and
investigate emergency situations."
NICE's John Rennie, Regional Vice
President of Public Safety, will join NENA's Roger Hixson and Michelle Bland from
the California Highway Patrol to present a session titled
"Text-to-9-1-1 on the Fast Track: What You Need to Know," on
Monday, June 16 at 1:30 p.m. The session will examine the realities
of texting to 9-1-1, including the role of NG9-1-1, the impact of
texting to 9-1-1 for PSAPs, and how call takers will interact with
those who text for assistance.
NICE is also a member of the NENA Next Generation Partner
Program (NGPP) and supports NENA's NG9-1-1 Industry Collaboration
Events (ICE).
