Wow, kinda rude don't you think? Matt WAS Helping, why aren't you
listening?
Contact your state SETB and ask about connecting to their selective
routers so you can send calls direct to the PSAPs. You'll also need
to update the location of your DIDs and validate them against the
MSAG. Normally you'll need to use IMTs to connect to the selective
router and IMTs require SS7 with ISUP routes to your LECs STP. You do
have SS7 on your Asterisk box right? If you want to provide cross LATA
E-911 then you'll need to connect to each pair of Selective Routers
in each LATA. You'll also need ISUP routes to each Selective
Router. Go to www.nena.org and read about your E-911
responsibilities. Make sure you setup your Asterisk box so once a
customer dials 911 they CANNOT hang up the phone. You also need to
make sure you have redundant routes to each Selective Router and
provide a failover to a live operator in case the call can't complete
(in short, a 911 call must ALWAYS complete to a live person). Only a
911 operator can hang up a 911 call...
Or, you could call Intrado.com and save a ton of money and headaches.
Oh, an don't forget about CALEA, good luck with that one.
But hey, what do I know about VoIP, SS7 and building a CLEC? I run a
full CLEC, with full SS7 connectivity to Verizon, redundant routes to
the Selective Routers for my LATA. Local number portability database
access, all that fun stuff. I still outsource my 911 traffic to Intrado.

Thanks, that's the type of information I was looking for. I want to
read documentation myself and make a decision based on my needs and how
much time I can devote to providing e911 services ourselves.
I wasn't being rude, but I requested assistance, and was told it
couldn't be done, when there are 30+ companies listed on the FCC sites
as providing e911 services. So I knew it could be done, I was wondering
what the request of your were doing to meet e911 services.
I'll read up on it and if we choose to move ahead with it I will
document the process and place on a e911 wiki. But nevertheless
thanks for all the replies, it helps in getting me pointed in the right
direction.
