This term is used to denote a PSAP capable of processing calls and accessing data services as defined in NENA’s i3 specification, NENA-STA-010, and referred to therein as an “i3 PSAP.”
 
'''''Virtual PSAP'''''
 
An operational model directly enabled through NG9-1-1 features and/or network hosted PSAP equipment in which telecommunicators are geographically dispersed, rather than working from the same physical location. Remote access to the PSAP applications by the dispersed telecommunicators requires the appropriate network connections, security, and work station equipment at the remote location. The virtual work place may be a logical combination of physical PSAPs, or an alternate work environment such as a satellite facility, or any combination of the above. Workers are connected and interoperate via IP connectivity.
