First, the proposed standard will need to be adopted as an American National Standard (ANS). Next, there will be an aggressive outreach campaign to make all CAD providers, PSAPs, Alarm Monitoring Companies, and Alarm Monitoring Software Application Providers aware of the adopted standard. It may take anywhere from several months to a year or two for some of the commercial providers to gear-up and develop a module to work with their product that adapts to the automated exchange. Additional information will be forthcoming from APCO once the ANS has been adopted. If you are interested in participating in the automated exchange, please contact APCO’s Comm Center & 9-1-1 Services Department at 911services@apco911.org or (386) 322-2500.
