911 Text Message Service Coming In 2014
- Most 911 centers can't receive text messages. But that doesn't always stop people from texting the familiar number in an emergency, not knowing their pleas for help won't be seen.
- A new initiative announced Friday will finally bring the 20-year-old SMS texting technology to emergency centers across the country in the coming years.
- The top four wireless carriers in the U.S. have agreed to speed up their efforts to support text-to-911 capabilities, making it available by May 15, 2014.
- Most 911 systems are managed locally, but the next-generation 911 project is a national push to update the systems to handle modern communications, including calls over the Internet, images and photos.For More Information Click Here
