- In the public safety sector, on-premise 911 call handling equipment, such as that used in Public Safety Answering Pointes (PSAPs), typically operates on a lifecycle of approximately five years, aligning with manufacturing warranties, technology advancements, and industry standards for reliability and security. The current equipment, now eight years old, has exceeded the standard timeframe, placing it well beyond typical EOS thresholds, meaning no ongoing support or replacements are available, which could compromise emergency response capabilities. To mitigate these risks, a full hardware infrastructure refresh and or new system is essential, along with a new maintenance contract to ensure compliance, performance, and future upgrades.
