    E911 & Remote Workers

    Appreciate your frustration, but what 'feature' could be applied here? There is a physical limitation in the Public Switched telephone Network and the way 911 is designed to operate. There is nothing ANY vendor can do, except act as a 3rd part LD 911 provider and take the call into their network...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    Yes, if the PSAPs are being serviced by the SAME SELECTIVE ROUTERS then this is fine. If not, then the foreign number will go in as an ANI fail, be routed to the default PSAP who can only ANSWER but not transfer your call. If they do transfer, it will be on a 10 digit admin line with NO ORIGINAL...

    National 911 Routing Policy

    THE FCC IS NOT ELECTED. I recently interviewed Commissioner Ajit Pai and we talked about how the FCC works, and how commissioners are appointed. You can listen or read the interview at: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/slice-pai-my-interview-fcc-commissioner-mark-fletcher-enp 911 is typically...

    National 911 Routing Policy

    In the US, 911 is very segmented based on old LATA boundary lines. VoIP has allowed those lines to be blurred, causing the existing 911 infrastructure to become problematic for user location. How do we fix this? -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    We should likely move this to a separate thread. We are now WAY off topic. I agree with you to some extent, lets discuss on an appropriate thread in respect to the Mods. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911 Podcast @ http://avaya.com/Fletcher...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    You are entirely correct the line is a physical entity, and that line has an identifier on it, a phone number. When I am on an MLTS PBX, I may use any line on the system, or in the case of a PRI line, the system dynamically assigns a number when I make the outbound call based on what station is...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    Unfortunately, the problem here in the US is the 911 network was built and designed in the late 1960's using technologies available then. Phone numbers lived in single places fo rthe most part, and 'mobility' had to do with wheel chairs and crutches. The general practice was for the LEC to...

    What country are you located in? Let's start there, and maybe I can help explain. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911 Podcast @ http://avaya.com/Fletcher http://fletch.tv

    E911 & Remote Workers

    The problem there is if the IP changes or the user moves their phone. Stickers, waivers, Post-it notes stapled to the user's forehead will not stop stupid from stupid. Fixing the problem is not difficult. You need the right solution for the right problem. It needs to be easy to manage, flexible...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    Well, when it comes to something that affects people's lives, I get a little wordy as there are more BAD PRACTICES out there being preached as BEST PRACTICES by those looking to profit on SELLING E911 Services. I don't SELL E911, the basic functionality is included to those that own my PBX, as...

    E911 & Remote Workers

    First of all, GREAT POST on a great topic! As we Flatten, Consolidate and Extend out communications infrastructure, this exact problem becomes more and more critical to deal with, and can put MLTS E911 on your plate when you least expect it. It is this crucial juncture where you need to start...

    e911 Hotel Room Notification

    The other thing to remember is that sending the call to a DID number at any service is bypassing the local 911 network. Plus you either need to have a separate DID number from the service for every location you have, or you need to have your own DID numbers for each station. That is the ONLY WAY...

    e911 Hotel Room Notification

    911 from hotels is an issue that was raised last year to the FCC after the tragic incident in Marshall Texas. The FCC Ex Parte I filed from my meeting last year with Commissioner Ajit Pai is here: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7521065479 When dealing with E911 in any environment...

    Intercept Number and Reroute Internally - Dusting of NARS/BARS

    There is actually a way to set this in BARS as well. I think it may be defined as an LDID, but memory is very dusty. Basically this will accomplish what the suggestion does before, just as an internal function. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911...
