E911 Service for Enterprise IP Phone Systems

Enterprise telephony operators now have the opportunity to simplify 911 administration, diminish liability concerns, in order to meet U.S. state and federal E911 regulations, according to Montreal's 911 Enable.

The 911 service provider launched its new Emergency Gateway software, saying the software appliance integrates with the enterprise network to automatically track phone moves and manage location data.

The Emergency Gateway works with 911 Enable's award-winning Emergency Routing Service (ERS). When 911 is dialed, the Emergency Gateway captures the up to date location of the caller and forwards it to the ERS for completion to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The ERS provides connectivity to over 4,500 PSAPs across the US and a single national ALI database that covers all 50 states.

"The location discovery features of the Emergency Gateway help to protect modern day enterprise deployments where employees move frequently on the corporate network and make use of advanced features such as shared line appearance and extension mobility," described Lev Deich, Director of 911 Enable. "In addition, it provides 911 support for the enterprise's entire workforce, including employees working form remote branches, at home, and on the road."

The Emergency Gateway includes session border controller (SBC) functionality, allowing it to perform secure SIP outbound communication with the ERS. It has been designed to interoperate with leading equipment manufacturers such as Cisco, Avaya and Nortel.
