Bryant, Texas — BullBerry Systems Inc. (BBSI), a 9-1-1 software and GIS data services company, recently participated in the 3rd NENA Industry Collaboration Event (ICE 3). At this event, BBSI tested its Emergency Call Routing Function (ECRF) and Location Validation Function (LVF) technologies.

NENA held ICE 3 in Bryan, Texas, the week of 11/29. The focus of the event was location information, which is one of the most critical data elements in the operation of NG9-1-1 for call routing. The 13 companies involved evaluated multivendor interaction between the following functional elements:

• Emergency Call Routing Functions
• Emergency Services Routing Proxies
• Location Information Servers

The testing explored a greater detail of specification called for in the requirements in a variety of different real-world situations focusing on location and associated uses. More information can be found at http://www.nena.org/ng9-1-1/ICE.
