Project staff presented a draft, phased implementation list for migrating PSAPs from existing circuits to new Ethernet (SNET) connections and described logistics for the work.

Presenters said the initial stage is intended to bring the new circuits into PSAP facilities and complete testing; the technical cutover is expected to be a “lift-and-lay” process in which the new circuit is brought online and the old circuit is removed. The presenters said they do not expect a disruption to service under normal conditions and that most programming and configuration work will be completed prior to any physical cutover. PSAPs will be given advance notice to schedule cutovers at times that minimize operational impact; overnight windows are possible if centers prefer.

Officials acknowledged that human error and complex builds can create risk and urged PSAPs to flag any dates that would be problematic (large public events, student move-in at universities, etc.). The team said initial orders were expected to be placed in the weeks following the meeting and that dates on the circulation list were therefore “to be determined.” One participant noted a two‑year statutory/improvement-plan window for completing certain upgrades; project staff said they will work to accommodate scheduling constraints but must meet the overall timeline.

PSAPs were asked to review the draft list and raise any local concerns; project staff said they would coordinate dates with PSAPs and recommended distributing the implementation schedule to ESInet users rather than publishing the list on a general public forum to avoid operational confusion.
