The contract has a total value of approximately US$0.6m over two years, with a recurring element of US$0.1m per annum, covering 1Spatial's innovative technology, implementation and support. 1Spatial's data validation software will be used to support the State of California's implementation of the national Next Generation 9-1-1 initiative.

The Next Generation 9-1-1 initiative was set up to improve vital public emergency communications services and runs across the USA and Canada.  Serving California, the most populous state in the United States, CalOES takes a proactive approach to addressing threats such as earthquakes, floods, significant wildfires, prolonged drought, public health emergencies, cybersecurity attacks, agricultural and animal disasters, as well as threats to homeland security.  1Integrate and 1Data Gateway will enable the California 9-1-1 Emergency Operations Branch to build a scalable validation platform to ensure incoming data from multiple data providers meets accuracy standards for use in their Next Generation 9-1-1 implementation, improving speed and accuracy of response.

1Spatial's project is a repeatable solution capable of supporting other States across North America to deliver on their Next Generation targets.

Claire Milverton, CEO of 1Spatial, commented, "We are delighted to be working on this important project with the State of California, which sees our 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway portal form an essential platform to support the implementation of the Next Generation 9-1-1 initiative.
