Re: [asterisk-users] 911, Location

2010-01-31 Thread Muro, Sam
Hi Shahnawaz

Have you considered how you are going to address location issue for Mobile
users calling 911. You should think of SS7 MAP/TCAP to atleast know their
Cell ID

Regards
Sam
 Thanks very much everybody who contributed their thoughts. I would try
to get some DID's so that each physical location can be identified by
911 call Center.

 In the US at least, calls to PSAPs are recorded from the instant the
last digit is dialed, before the call is even routed and ringing (on
wireline networks where this is possible, anyway).

I see two problems:

pressed the last digit and therefore will speak into the ring signal?

An option of  the operator receiving a loop of This is a call from the

would require the operator to be able to press *, not sure I'd depend 
my life on that...

This would prevent the caller talking to the 911-operator, wouldn't it?

The idea behind the OP was that the caller was a man down who couldn't
speak to 911, just dial the number.  You could always change wait to
waitexten and make an exten to break the loop if you were able to talk.

If you're using POTS lines to make the call to 911 they'll know the
location, if the POTS lines come into the building that you're calling

If nobody is around how would they even get into the building ? Certainly in 
the UK nobody should ever be in the building on their own for this exact 
reason; and if they are then in would be prudent to have man down alarms and 
paging.
