PSAP Task Force To Meet May 6

The FCC Task Force on Optimal Public Safety Answering Point Architecture will start phase II of its work during a May 6 meeting at the FCC, said a notice in Wednesday's Federal Register. “The Task Force will hear overview presentations of 2016 tasks from the Task Force’s three working groups; specifically Working Group 1 -- Optimal Approach to Cybersecurity, Working Group 2 -- Optimal Approach to NG911 Architecture Implementation, and Working 3 -- Optimal Approach to NG911 Resource Allocation.” The group completed a report last year, which it formally approved Jan. 29 (see 1601290051). FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said at the Jan. 29 meeting that he would make advocacy of more funding for next-generation 911 his top priority every time he appears before Congress in his remaining time as chairman. The meeting starts at 1 p.m. EDT in the Commission Meeting Room.
