PARAMUS, New Jersey, July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that it will showcase its Text-to-9-1-1 logger and other NG9-1-1-ready solutions at the APCO International 80th Annual Conference & Expo (booth 427), taking please in New Orleans August 3-6.

At the event, NICE will also introduce NICE Inform version 7, the latest release of its multimedia event reconstruction solution. Inform 7 offers organizations additional support for next generation communications, enabling them to manage text-to-9-1-1, improve responses to emergency calls, and protect callers by removing private details from the incident timeline.

Attendees can learn more about the following capabilities:

Text-to-9-1-1  

  • The recent enablement of text-to-9-1-1 by the four major U.S. mobile carriers shows momentum for this type of emergency communication. In line with this trend, NICE's Text-to-9-1-1 logger was developed to capture these text messages. They can then be viewed in an incident timeline along with related voice recordings, video, GIS and call-taker screens. NICE's Text-to-9-1-1 logger is compatible with NENA's i3 standard which equips it to capture future Next Gen data sources as well as support i3 environments where calls are routed from one public safety answering point (PSAP) to another.

Quality Assurance 

  • With NICE Inform, PSAPs can evaluate single calls as well as complete incidents, to ensure the highest quality of response. This includes monitoring and assessing the processing of multimedia input, such as audio, text, GIS, video, and CAD screens.

24x7 Screen Logging 

  • Capturing multiple telecommunicator screens simultaneously provides enhanced insight into every facet of call handling. Screens can be synched with 9-1-1/radio calls and other multimedia for authentic incident reconstruction. This helps identify bottlenecks, training gaps, and discrepancies among systems and communication channels.

NICE will also participate in a panel discussion on "Building Your PSAP's Roadmap: from Text-to-9-1-1 to Big Data" on August 3, at 9:30 a.m. John Rennie, General Manager of Public Safety at NICE, will share insights on the value of Text-to-9-1-1, video, and Big Data, and their impact on PSAP operations. Other participants include: Diane Culverhouse (Manager of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Communications Center, Golden, CO); Robert K. Gojanovich, ENP (Regional Account Manager of Next Generation 9-1-1, TeleCommunication Systems, Inc.); and David Hopkins (Director of Steuben County NY E911).

On Tuesday, August 5, at 12:00 p.m., NICE will also host an awards ceremony at its booth (#427) to honor its 2014 PSAPs' Finest Award recipients.
