FCC Promotes Next Generation 911 Services for Internet-Based Relay Services

On June 8, 2023, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to take steps to advance the nationwide transition to Next Generation 911 (NG911).  Unlike the current 911 system, NG911 uses Internet Protocol (IP)-based format and routing, and will support the transmission of text, photos, videos, and data.
