This might not suffice. FCC 05-116 sec37 states that a call must be routed via ANI or pseudo-ANI via the dedicated Wireline E911 Network (not wireless). Now, if this were interconnected to a single wireline point, it MIGHT suffice, as the same section specifies that you can use ANI or pseudo-ANI and need only provide appropriate callback information for the PSAP.
Sec.38, however, states that you can accomplish this interconnection either indirectly through a 3rd party, directly through the Wireline E911 network, OR through "any other solution that allows a provider to offer E911 service as described above." That 'any other solution' MIGHT allow you to interconnect through a single point wireless IF you can provide individual callback info to the PSAP.
