NG112: Embracing innovation in today's emergency communications

Technological developments and consumer preferences are driving the uptake of new and innovative means for communicating with family, friends and colleagues. More and More, citizens also expect to be able to use these modern means of communication to reach emergency services. This trend, coupled with new legal requirements on accessibility for people with disabilities, requires emergency services stakeholders to adapt and to embrace innovation and transformational change in today’s emergency communications.

This is where Next Generation 112 steps in. NG112 is about making it possible forcitizens to send, and for emergency services to receive, not just voice, but location information, real–time text, photos, video calls and other data.

In order to assist as many emergency services as possible to move to NG112, EENA has decided to dedicate this virtual event to “NG112: from theory to reality“, which took place during 3 days from 27 to 29 April 2021.

What was discussed?

During three consecutive afternoons, we explained what NG112 is, why it can meet the requirements of today’s emergency services and citizens and how it can be implemented. Experiences from existing NG112/NG911 deployment projects were discussed, as well as the next steps on the road to widescale deployment in Europe explored.
