ASAP to PSAP Automated Secure Alarm Protocol Reduces 9-1-1 Processing & Responses Times by Minutes

摘要

Notable things are taking place this year surrounding the use of an ANSI-approved APCO International American National Standard (ANS) that streamlines the delivery of alarm notifications between alarm monitoring companies, also-known-as central stations, and 9-I-I PSAPs. The official title of this standard, approved by ANSI on Jan. 15, 2009, is the Alarm Monitoring Company to Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD) External Alarm Interface Exchange桝PCO/CSAA 2.101.1-2008, abbreviated the "External Alarm Interface Exchange." The Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) has branded the project the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) in what is a public/private partnership that offers a better, faster and cost-effective solution to deliver alarm information from alarm monitoring companies to PSAPs.
