There’s a good chance your compliance clock is already running. Are you ready?
FCC Order 24-78 gave every OSP in the country a two-phase deadline for Next Generation 9-1-1, and a choice many haven’t fully scoped out yet: build it in-house, or consume it as a managed service. The two phases don’t use the same location formats, the same testing requirements, or the same architecture, which means an OSP that optimizes only for Phase 1 often ends up completely rebuilding when Phase 2 arrives.
The Paths to NG9-1-1 is a decision framework for OSPs facing that choice right now, whether your compliance window is twelve months or six.
What's Inside?
- FCC 24-78 deadlines and what triggers your compliance clock, including why it may already be ticking even if you haven’t received formal notice
- A side-by-side architecture comparison showing exactly where Phase 1 infrastructure does, and doesn’t, carry forward to Phase 2
- A 20-point self-assessment scorecard to evaluate whether your team can realistically operate location and routing, manage certificates, and drive interoperability testing
- A five-year TCO model showing a 5.8x cost difference between a managed and a DIY approach, broken down by operating versus capital expense
- Real operational risks from early Phase 2 rollouts, including failures that might surface after deployment begins
- A 12-month compliance timeline showing exactly where the buffer time disappears
If your 9-1-1 Authority has already filed a Request for Service, or you expect one soon, this is the paper to read before your team scopes a build.
