    MCLEAN, Va. and BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NGA 911, LLC (NGA), the source for complete, customizable and reliable NG9-1-1 solutions, today partnered with NextNav, a leader in next generation GPS, to provide actionable vertical location to its ever-growing public safety client base.

    Using the NGA-powered NGCS ESInet, agencies gain greater situational awareness and benefit from a common picture of Emergency Communication Centers (ECCs) in a single framework. Now, NGA’s clients will receive the most accurate vertical location data, provided by NextNav Pinnacle and delivered across the geospatially-powered ESInet domain. The result: NGA will be positioned to natively route floor-level vertical location data of incoming requests for service across its ecosystem and display the location in 2D and 3D formats. In turn, First Responders gain the confidence that they - and those they’re dispatched to serve - will remain protected in emergency response instances.

    “Gathering precise location data for 9-1-1 dispatch is critical to ensuring our solutions provide the most efficient, accurate information for the agencies we serve,” said Don Ferguson, CEO at NGA. “By working with NextNav, NGA will be able to continue this commitment and deliver greater situational awareness, ensuring first responders and the citizens they serve are better protected. The location intelligence provided by NextNav Pinnacle is particularly important for calls requiring a response in urban and suburban areas, where callers are often within multistory buildings.”

    “In working with NGA, we’re taking a critical step forward in bringing vertical location technology – a critical component to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) ecosystem – to the Public Safety industry,” said Dan Hight, VP of Business Development). “Through partnerships with industry leaders like NGA, agencies are gaining accurate vertical location data and the ability to provide these capabilities to Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs) in a cohesive fashion.”

    The Pinnacle network delivers precise vertical location in 4,400 cities and towns – capturing 90% of buildings greater than three stories – in the United States. NextNav Pinnacle powers applications across the public safety community to support stronger situational awareness for first responders. Most recently, a tier-one wireless carrier selected NextNav Pinnacle to bring z-axis capabilities to wireless 9-1-1 phone calls to enhance caller geolocation and emergency response outcomes.
