TiPS Episode 25 0602 – Learning NG911 Byte by Byte: SRs and ESRPs Oh My!
Ever wonder how your 9-1-1 call finds its way to the right dispatcher?
Spoiler alert: it's not pixie dust—it’s public safety tech at work.
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch takes you on a byte-by-byte tour comparing the legacy Selective Router (SR) with the Next Generation Emergency Services Routing Proxy (ESRP).
👴🏽 SR = Old-school, rigid, like using MapQuest in 2025
🚀 ESRP = IP-based, location-aware, and basically Waze for emergency calls
You’ll learn:
✅ How NG911 routes calls using real-time location, not just phone numbers
✅ Why ESRPs are more resilient, flexible, and scalable
✅ The role of GIS, PRF, ECRF, and LVF in modern emergency routing
✅ Why PSAPs and ENTERPRISE IT teams need to understand this shift—NOW
Whether you're a call taker, IT leader, or just a curious human who likes knowing how the magic happens — this episode will leave you smarter (and possibly more sarcastic).
