Variations:

Alternate PSAP: A PSAP designated to receive calls when the primary PSAP is unable to do so.
Consolidated PSAP: A facility where one or more Public Safety Agencies choose to operate as a single 9-1-1 entity.
Legacy PSAP: A PSAP that cannot process calls received via i3-defined call interfaces (IP-based calls) and still requires the use of CAMA or ISDN trunk technology for delivery of 9-1-1 emergency calls.
Secondary PSAP: A PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are transferred from a Primary PSAP.
Serving PSAP: The PSAP to which call would normally be routed.
