The Oklahoma 9‑1‑1 Management Authority on Feb. 9 approved a technology roadmap intended to guide future NG9‑1‑1 investments and interoperability work across the state.
Staff presented five strategic priorities: statewide mapping and GIS integration, satellite emergency communications infrastructure, push‑to‑talk technologies, CAD‑to‑CAD interoperability, and offering CAD solutions to PSAPs that currently lack them. Mr. Coonfield explained the roadmap is advisory — not a statutory mandate — and described three potential funding approaches: state contracts to offer services, cost‑share arrangements with local entities, or full funding from the authority’s budget depending on available NG‑IS provider capacity and funds.
Lance Terry emphasized the roadmap provides a menu of options and that decisions will depend on the outcome of the NG‑IS procurement and available balances. The board approved the roadmap on a roll‑call vote.
Why it matters: The roadmap sets shared priorities for statewide interoperability, improved location and mapping services, and data sharing between PSAP systems — all elements that affect how quickly and accurately emergency calls are routed and handled as NG9‑1‑1 is deployed.
What happens next: The technical committee will review the roadmap’s five priorities, request demos from PSAPs using the technologies, and recommend next steps and procurement paths.
