Description

California initiated a project in 2019 to implement a regionalized Next Generation 911 system to replace outdated 1970s-era technology. The plan involved creating three regional sectors and a fourth backup provider to ensure statewide coverage and prevent widespread outages. After spending approximately $450 million, the project was halted due to operational difficulties with the regional approach, and the state decided to revert to a statewide system approach with a target implementation date of 2030.
