ANGEN Cost Structure

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

inetwork connects to 7 9-1-1 tandems Wireless Carriers connect to inetwork

Huntsville & Montgomery for redundancy Testing – will involve all PSAPs Live calls route via ANGEN – November 1,

2012 Carrier -> inetwork -> LEC SR -> PSAP

still routed to PSAP via existing cama trunks Allows Carriers to drop connections to SR /

Tandems

ANGEN Phase I

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

ASA begins connecting PSAPs to Core via IP 2MB Ethernet in most locations May be a few exceptions with T1 due to cost

Calls begin to route via ANGEN rather than LEC SR Carrier -> inetwork -> PSAP via IP Back-up = inetwork -> Selective Router ->

PSAP Expected to take several months to convert

82 ECDs 6 not participating at this time

ANGEN Phase II

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

1st – PSAPs that can accept a direct IP connection

2nd – PSAPs that need a Legacy Network Gateway

IF a PSAP will get IP capable equipment soon… Wait to install ANGEN rather than spend $ on

LNG Also saves labor to install and then convert

ANGEN – IP Installation

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

Wired & VoIP Carriers connect to ANGEN Core

Calls delivered to PSAPs via IP Once all carriers convert – disconnect cama

circuits Many ECDs will want a backup IP connection This will not occur before 2014 ~ mid year at

earliest…

ANGEN Phase III

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

Cost Structure – next Board’s Decision “Probably” – based on percentage of wired /

wireless

ANGEN PHASE III – Cost Structure?

ITEM Cost Estimate

ASA – Network $1,200,000

Inetwork – core components

$828,000

TOTAL $2,028,000

70% Wireless – Cost Recovery

$1,419,600

30% Wired – By ECDs $608,400 (divided by population)

Now – Installing circuits to Selective Routers Now – Installing and testing Core Components Now – Meeting with Carriers November 1, 2012 – Phase I / Live 9-1-1 Calls

Will not be all carriers 1st Quarter 2013 – Start Phase II installed IP to

PSAPs 3rd Quarter 2013 – Finish installing IP to PSAPs 2014 – Start Phase III

ANGEN – Timetable
