The shift to hybrid work, cloud-based communications, and mobile-first devices continues to create challenges for 911 call location and routing management. No matter where employees, contractors, and even on-site customers are located, the statutory requirements to ensure 911 reachability, accurate location management, and notification remain. NG911 offers the opportunity to improve 911 call management but few have implemented it to date.
