i3-Log™

i3-Log™ provides centralized logging, event recording, and reporting across a NENA i3-compliant NG9-1-1 network. It captures operational events and metadata as emergency calls move through the Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet), creating a secure, searchable record of system activity from call ingress to call delivery.

Designed for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), NG9-1-1 service providers, and network operators, i3-Log records events across NG9-1-1 Core Services (NGCS), including Session Border Controllers (SBCs), routing functions, and other critical network elements. Authorized users can securely search, review, and report on historical events through a web-based interface, improving operational visibility, troubleshooting, auditing, and regulatory compliance.

What is i3-Log?

i3-Log™ serves as the centralized event logging platform for NG9-1-1 operations. It captures and stores operational events throughout the entire emergency call lifecycle—from the Originating Service Provider (OSP), across the Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet), through NG9-1-1 Core Services (NGCS), and ultimately to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

By collecting events from every major functional element, i3-Log provides operators with a complete operational history that supports incident investigation, network monitoring, system troubleshooting, compliance reporting, and performance analysis.

Key capabilities include:
  • Centralized logging across all NG9-1-1 Core Services (NGCS)
  • 24/7 secure web-based access to event history
  • Logging of emergency call metadata and signaling events
  • Support for multiple media types and communication protocols
  • NENA i3-compliant event logging and reporting
  • Searchable historical records for auditing and operational analysis

Standard i3-Log™ Events

i3-Log™ includes a library of standard reports that provide visibility into system activity across the NG9-1-1 environment. These reports organize LogEvents defined by NENA standards, making it easier to monitor operations, investigate incidents, verify system performance, and support compliance requirements.

The table below identifies the LogEvents supported by the i3-Log™ service.

Logging Across all NG9-1-1 Functional Elements

Every NG9-1-1 functional element generates LogEvents as emergency calls move through the network. i3-Log™ collects these events into a centralized repository, providing operators with complete visibility into call processing, routing decisions, signaling activity, and system performance.

This centralized approach allows PSAPs and network administrators to quickly identify issues, reconstruct call activity, verify network operations, and maintain historical records across the entire NG9-1-1 environment.

The primary functional elements supported by i3-Log™ are shown below.

Operational auditing and troubleshooting

In addition to standard reports, i3-Log™ provides flexible ad hoc reporting that allows users to search, filter, and analyze operational data based on specific events, timeframes, network elements, or call characteristics.

Authorized users can create customized reports to support incident investigations, regulatory reporting, operational analysis, and long-term system planning. The intuitive web-based interface makes it easy to access the information needed to improve NG9-1-1 performance and maintain complete visibility into emergency communications operations.
