National NENA Booth to Highlight GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server
GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server, is a Web-based tactical dispatch Geographic
Information System (GIS). This dispatch mapping system is distributed
across a public safety network allowing users to view a Common
Operating Picture (COP) of the jurisdiction’s geography and public safety
activity. GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server will seamlessly connect PSAPs,
responding agencies, and mobile responders, increasing their ability to
gather and share information, strategize, plan, mitigate, track, and
respond to emergencies. This offering also leverages emerging NG9-1-1
ESINets for application delivery and sharing, and provides NG9-1-1
additional data display.
Built on ESRI ArcGIS Server 10.0 and the ArcGIS Silverlight API,
GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server can map live 9-1-1 calls, CAD calls for service,
and track AVL. It is installed into a clustered server environment,
interfaces to the CAD system, and provides tactical mapping to users
via browser-based application.

Henderson County, North
Carolina - NG9-1-1 GIS
Maintenance
Overview
Henderson County, North Carolina has been a GeoComm customer since 2005. In 2005, GeoComm, along with one of our business partners, implemented GeoLynx 9-1-1 and GeoLynx Mobile. In 2006, Henderson County added GeoLynx DMS and GeoLynx Sync. Prior to implementing the public safety software, GeoComm completed a thorough map data, 9-1-1 database and MSAG analysis. This analysis depicted the synchronization rate among the three primary components used in plotting 9-1-1 calls. The data was then enhanced to ensure wireline 9-1-1 calls would plot accurately in GeoLynx 9-1-1.
In 2008 Henderson County again contacted GeoComm because they were concerned with bringing their public safety GIS data together from different sources, update schedules and formats, while still meeting their public safety GIS data needs. They needed a qualified GIS and 9-1-1 Consultant to assist in reviewing call plotting success, map data to database synchronization, and 9-1-1 database and GIS workflows. The project needed to be cost effective, organized, have a technically sound approach to analyze current issues and overcome those obstacles while creating a new GIS maintenance program. GeoComm’s GIS Consulting Services were able to help achieve all of these goals, however the project had to be approached with two primary objectives being completed on a quarterly basis, a data report card and review the current process workflows.

GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server Implemented in New Joint Emergency Communications Center
In June 2010, after several years of planning, the Joint Emergency Communications Center (JECC) in Johnson County, Iowa, opened. The JECC enhanced communication among the different departments, and by implementing GeoLynx 9-1-1 Server, allowed all of the dispatchers to view a common operating picture of countywide GIS, 9-1-1 calls, track vehicles, and CAD calls for service. The JECC serves Johnson County, City of Coralville, Iowa City, and North Liberty.
The creation of the JECC not only involved the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility, but also the development of a new countywide public safety radio communications system which would allow dispatchers to notify all public safety entities (police, fire, ambulance) with one broadcast. With the previous disparate radio systems used by each agency, an emergency responder for Iowa City could not communicate with a responder from Johnson County. Other changes included a move to a new modern 9-1-1 telephone system located at the JECC facility as well as the back-up location at the University of Iowa Public Safety Department on the university campus. All agencies also began using the similar software for records management system (RMS) and computer aided dispatch (CAD).

Demonstration on GeoLynx Server
GeoComm will be demonstrating GeoLynx Server on Tuesday, June 21, from 1:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. The presentation will be in Vendor Presentation B Area located within the exhibitor hall.
An emergency call is answered. Wouldn't it be helpful to quickly access additional information about a location such as images, video feeds, blue prints, emergency contact information and more. Join GeoComm for this interactive additional data about a location (NENA Document 71-001) from an ECRF/LVF.

GeoComm staff participates as panel presenter in several GIS track sessions
Below is a list of panel presentations GeoComm's Kathy Liljequist, GISP, is participating in along with the official NENA class description.
Monday, June 20, 1:30 p.m. - GIS for Your PSAP: Why Internet Maps Won't Do
9-1-1 needs accurate GIS data to meet the needs of the ever-increasing number of wireless 9-1-1 callers. The ability to locate callers, provide dispatchable locations, and make informed decisions all comes back to the data. NG9-1-1 uses GIS data for location validation and call routing. This panel discusses examples, shows why “good enough” is not good enough for 9-1-1, and provides methods and processes to improve your GIS data.
Tuesday, June 21, 1:30 p.m. - The Role of GIS in NG9-1-1
GIS data will become a core database in NG9-1-1. This introductory session covers the big picture of NG9-1-1 and the role GIS data will play. Facilitators will walk the audience through the NG9-1-1 process in an entertaining and understandable session for those looking to get their feet wet and gain a basic understanding of this important topic.
Wednesday, June 22, 1:00 p.m. - Developing Address Site/ Structure Points
In NG9-1-1, the dispatchable location — the address site location — is preferred over just a street centerline or address range. How does one build or improve their site location database? How does the Location Validation Function (LVF) in NG9-1-1 work, and how does one accommodate building this site location data? This interactive session will focus on gathering input from those on hand to begin work on this best practice.
