As it pushes ahead to NG911 (Next Generation 911) service, the State of Tennessee is building redundancy into this system by choosing FirstNet to provide wireless backup connections to its primary 9-1-1 PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points). In doing so, Tennessee is ensuring that its citizens can get the NG911 assistance they need when they need it — even if the landlines going into their 115 PSAPs go down for any reason.
