APCO Partners with NENA to Draft Document for App Developers

APCO International October 10, 2012 APCO
Document to Educate Developers on E9-1-1 System Capabilities

Alexandria, Va. – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) have partnered to draft educational materials that will provide smartphone application (app) developers an in-depth understanding of current enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) system capabilities and limitations. The document “Public Safety Considerations for Smartphone Application Developers” can be found here http://apcointl.org/resources/app-developers.html.

Due to the increase of smartphone apps entering the market involving public safety and emergency communications, APCO felt that there was a strong need to better inform current and potential app developers of the systems’ capabilities. Many of these new apps display a high degree of creativity and innovation, but they need to take into consideration the E9-1-1 technical architecture as well as the operations of public safety answering points (PSAPs) which may influence these product offerings.
