AT&T is set to upgrade its next-generation 911 network, allowing users to share images and videos with emergency services through its ESInet communications platform. Launching in October, this enhancement allows multimedia sharing to become as easy as texting, aiming to improve situational understanding for responders. The platform has already upgraded 1,700 emergency centers since its 2018 inception, replacing old analog systems with IP networks. Alongside these updates, new security measures will protect sensitive data, addressing potential cyber threats, while select Toyota vehicles will be able to transmit crash data automatically.
