Enhanced 9‐1‐1 (E911)• E911 is a system used in North America that links emergency callers with the appropriate public resources. 

• The incoming 9‐1‐1 call is typically answered at the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) of the governmental agency

Page 20: Phone Services - CTC Presentation...Microsoft PowerPoint - Phone Services - CTC Presentation Author Frank Chen Created Date 3/23/2015 10:26:03 AM

FCC E911 RulesTo reduce possible risks to public safety, the FCC requires interconnected VoIP providers to:• Automatically provide 911 service to all customers as a standard, mandatory feature. VoIP providers may not allow customers to "opt‐out" of 911 service.

• Obtain a customer's physical location prior to service activation, and provide one or more easy ways for customers to update the location they have registered with the provider if it changes.

• Transmit all 911 calls, as well as a callback number and the caller's registered physical location, to the appropriate emergency services call center or local emergency authority.

• Take appropriate action to ensure customers have a clear understanding of the limitations, if any, of their 911 service. They must distribute labels warning customers if 911 service may be limited or not available and instruct them to place the labels on or near equipment used with VoIP service.

• Obtain affirmative acknowledgement from all customers that they are aware of and understand the limitations of their 911 service.

• Ensure that a 911 call is routed to the appropriate PSAP in areas where emergency service providers are not capable of receiving or processing the location information or call back numbers not automatically transmitted with 911 calls.

SoftphoneA softphone is a software program for making telephone calls over the Internet using a general purpose computer or smartphone, rather than using dedicated hardware. Often a softphone is designed to behave like a traditional telephone, sometimes appearing as an image of a phone, with a display panel and buttons with which the user can interact.  ‐ WikipediaA
