Nebraska Adds RapidSOS Services to NG-911

Nebraska signed a five-year contract with RapidSOS that will provide enhancements for next-generation 911 at the state’s 67 public safety answering points, the Nebraska Public Service Commission said Friday. One feature of the upgrade is that PSAPs will be able to get location information from wireless callers even if the carrier can’t deliver the call, the PSC said. “Many Nebraska PSAPs currently utilize RapidSOS,” said PSC State 911 Director David Sankey. “Elevating all PSAPs to the company’s UNITE modules, will provide even more tools to supplement caller location capabilities should a disruption in wireless service occur.”
