General Dynamics Information Technology said the Massachusetts State 911 Department awarded the company the contract to develop, build and operate its next-generation 911 (NG-911) emergency communications system. The contract will let Massachusetts replace its legacy enhanced 911 (E-911) system and comply with the National Emergency Number Association’s i3 architecture standards for local and national interoperability, General Dynamics said Monday. The transition to NG-911 “will effectively transform our analog based system into an IP-based system making it compatible with today’s changing technology and communication methods,” said Massachusetts Public Safety Secretary Andrea Cabral in a General Dynamics news release. The company said it recently deployed a NG-911 system in Morgan County, Ohio, and previously deployed more than 50 other E-911 systems.
