The FCC sought nominations and expressions of interest for membership on the Task Force on Optimal Public Safety Answering Point Architecture. Both are due at the agency Nov. 7. The agency directed the Public Safety Bureau to establish the task force, the Friday notice said (http://bit.ly/1rlE4cB). It’s to examine “whether additional consolidation of PSAP infrastructure and architecture improvements would promote greater efficiency of operations, safety of life, and cost containment, while retaining needed integration with local first responder dispatch and support.” Work is expected to get underway in November and wrap up two years later, the agency said.
