An Emergency Services Internet Protocol Network (ESINet) is a network capable of connecting calls, texts and other forms of media from the public to 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). The state will offer a statewide ESINet available for connection to local PSAPs.
The Ohio ESINet Steering Committee is tasked with:
Addressing the development of a statewide ESINet, including a review of the current funding model for this state's 9-1-1 systems;
Examining the readiness of the state's current technology infrastructure to support Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1);
Researching legislative authority with regard to governance and funding;
Making recommendations for consolidation of public-safety-answering-point operations in this state, to accommodate next-generation 9-1-1 technology and to facilitate a more efficient and effective emergency services system;
Recommending policies, procedures, and statutory or regulatory authority to effectively govern a statewide emergency services internet protocol network;
Coordinating with statewide initiatives and associations.
