FCC adopts new rules as states transition to Next Generation 911
The FCC has approved new rules to enhance the reliability of Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems as states modernize emergency call infrastructure. The rules require NG911 operators to implement redundancy measures and report progress, addressing recent outages in states like Pennsylvania and others. Kentucky aims to complete its NG911 rollout by 2027, joining several states that have upgraded or announced plans for the transition.
