Abstract

The State of Nebraska will use grant funds for Intertandem trunking between the selective routers in Scottsbluff and Grand Island. This connection will allow a reduction in call delivery time; meet FCC J-standard compliance for Phase II Signaling between the wireless carrier’s central office and the 9-1-1 selective router; provide the ability to transfer 9-1-1 calls between all PSAPs in the State of Nebraska, and expand the ability for a PSAP to receive the full ten digit telephone number of callers resolving LNP issues. Grant funds will also be used to upgrade call handling software at all 45 call taking stations to meet NG-911 standards.
