NG911 will be more resilient to extreme weather caused by climate change because it is no longer reliant on a single phone cable, said Ivan Rincon, executive director of project management at the Ministry of Citizens’ Services in B.C. The IP-based system is “based on the cloud,” he said, referencing Apple’s iCloud, which allows you to store files on the internet to be accessed using multiple devices
Er, what!?!!??!
Say you don’t understand what NG911 is without saying you don’t understand what NG911 is, The Tyee.
To add a bit of sanity here, NG911 is moving from a voice-only telephony service to a cloud-hosted service that can handle voice, text, and other IP-based communication. It appears to use a similar format to what BC Health moved to a few years back, so that people can access reports online and validate/update data on an opened ticket. The RCMP also already uses a similar system.
