Webinar overview:
With Next Generation 911 on the horizon, emergency communications are on the brink of transformative change. In the not-too-distant future, calls to 911 will increasingly be in the form of data including voice received as data. Real-time text messages, wireless 911 voice calls accompanied by still pictures or streaming video, automatic crash notifications or emergency weather alerts will all become common. Learn what you need to know to get ready. Join NICE and PlantCML for a web seminar on July 15 at 12pm ET. 

  • Explore the impact of emerging emergency communications on everything from real-time call handling to post-incident investigations. 
  • Learn three things you can do today to get ready for Next Generation 911. 
  • Get a first hand look at new technologies & techniques to transform your ”voice centric”  911 center into a true C4 (Command, Control, Communications, and Computing) center.
