3. The Company’s registered agent in Idaho is:
REGISTERED AGENT SOLUTIONS, INC.
921 S ORCHARD STREET, SUITE G
BOISE, ID 83705
4. The Company intends to provide emergency call routing, transport, and related
functionalities to state and municipal governmental agencies to support public service
answering point (“PSAP”) operations and will priovide such services statewide. While
NGA 911 primarily intends to provide a NG9-1-1 solution that utilizes a highly efficient
path to achieve end-to-end IP call handling for NG9-1-1 services, the Company also will
support and deliver legacy E911 and 9-1-1 services for carriers and PSAPs that have not
yet transitioned to NG9-1-1 services. NGA 911’s incremental deployment and patented
and patent pending services are designed to safely transition legacy 9-1-1 systems to the
latest NG9-1-1 technology available.
These services will be provided primarily through facilities to be leased from a variety of
telecommunications carriers and other providers, but may also use its own facilities. NGA
911 will use existing network infrastructure, including data centers, interconnection
facilities, fiber optic lines, poles, conduits, ducts and other access methods, where
appropriate to provide its services.
NGA 911 will rely on a number of different network and infrastructure facilities for the
provisioning of a combination of both legacy 9-1-1 services and IP-based services (NG9-

1-1). These can be characterized as Ingress, ESInet, Cloud, Direct Connect, and PSAP-
based. The Company’s NG9-1-1 solution utilizes a diverse, redundant, secure IP
infrastructure. Facilities and nodes are geographically diverse and are equipped with
physically redundant data communications and power equipment that allow for
continuous operation and reliability. The Company’s NG9-1-1 Emergency Services
provides a secure, IP-based, open-standards system comprised of hardware, software,
data, Next Generation Core Service (NGCS) Functional Elements (FE), and operational
policies and procedures.
The Company also is able to process and transport calls from the legacy 9-1-1 system.
For wireless and wirelines service providers using circuit-base, SS7 signaling, the
Company will use a Legacy Network Gateway to convert signaling to Internet-Protocol
before routing and delivering to the appropriate PSAP. For wireless, wireline, and voice
over IP (VoIP) service providers using IP based multimedia SIP signaling, the cOmpany
offers aggregation and routing services that comply with NG9-1-1 standards to deliver
calls to the appropriate PSAP.
