This month, public safety celebrates the history of progress that’s been made in the 911 system. These advancements are worth celebrating, but when considering what’s on the horizon for 911 and public safety communications, the future brings much more excitement. During this webinar, we will investigate the opportunities that exist for the sector to improve emergency response efforts, as well as provide insights about why the industry should run towards the future, instead of away from it.

Discussion topics during this event will include:

  • The opportunity that exists with a converged NG911 and FirstNet platform
  • The trends MCP believes will disrupt the industry
  • The biggest threats to 911's progress
  • Funding and legislative updates that will stimulate progress
  • Ideas for how you can make progress within your own organization today
