ABOUT APCO NEWS & PUBLICATIONS EVENTS JOIN LOGIN TRAINING SERVICES TECHNOLOGY ADVOCACY COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP APCO International > Technology Technology APCO keeps you up to date on the latest developments in emergency communications. From Paper to E9-1-1 to NG9-1-1 and Beyond The public safety communications industry has changed drastically since APCO was founded in 1935. ECC staff must now be knowledgeable about cutting edge technologies — not only how they work but how they will impact their ECCs and the community they serve. Next Generation 9‑1‑1 Next Generation 9‑1‑1 (NG9-1-1) is a secure, nationwide, interoperable, standards-based, all-IP emergency communications infrastructure enabling end-to-end transmission of all types of data, including voice and multimedia communications from the public to an emergency communications center. More Cybersecurity This section seeks to assist APCO members in identifying and mitigating the risks from cybersecurity incidents. Our primary focus is to provide information that should assist with detecting, analyzing, and responding to incidents. More Interoperability In the emergency services realm, interoperability is critical to initial response and emergency services of all types. While ECCs are generally able to transfer basic voice 9-1-1 calls to neighboring ECCs, they often cannot share other types of communications and data important for emergency response. More Telematics In public safety, telematics refers to electronics that provide fee-based location and communications services. More Spectrum Public safety spectrum serves the mission-critical communications needs of first responders charged with the protection of life and property.
