[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William M. Sandiford For those of you out there that are Canadian or otherwise
interested. The CRTC (Canadian equivalent of FCC) has released its ruling
on 911/E911 for VoIP providers. In a nutshell it requires all service
providers that offer a fixed native exchange service to provide E911 within 90
days and all service providers offering either fixed foreign exchange or nomadic
service to offer Basic 911 within 90 days. Here are the links: CRTC Decision on 9-1-1
Emergency Services for Anyone
does not think the US FCC will not rule the same way in a matter of time is
hiding from the truth, and anyone deploying * in an ITSP manner without
budgeting and planning for 911 services is in for a big financial surprise. As of
now (that I am aware of) * has not method of querying a selective router for
the 10 digit number of the local PSAP. Our solution at this time is; Establish
a relationship with the local ANI/ALI database maintainer that allows you to
update location records for TNs that have been assigned or delegated to you,
even if the numbers have been delegated by an upstream LEC or CLEC. There is a
fee for this service. Route
all 911 calls via PRI TDM circuits to a LECs or CLECs switch that already has
the ability to query the selective router and route the call to the correct 10
digit PSAP number. A fee applies here too. At some
point it will be necessary to build code into * that allows it to query the ALI
databases directly over IP or TDM, IP will likely be the solution. When that
times comes we will be happy to join in on the developers bounty as we can
afford to contribute, but do not have the skills to write the code ourselves. Intrado
has already built an interface that allows these queries to take place over IP,
so it would just be a matter of getting an NDA executed with them, obtaining a
copy of the specification, and writing the app that queries the selective
router for the correct 10 digit TN when 911 is dialed. See www.intrado.com (no affiliation) -- |
