Re: [asterisk-users] E-911

[James Cloos]

There are a few services available, in addition to the offerings from
(some? most?) upstreams.

I'm aware of http://www.bulkvs.com/e911.html

It is probably the most affordable option if your upstream does not
offer it.

I use their origination and termination services, but have not needed to
try their e911.  They only charge $0.72/month/number for e911.

(The way e911 works each number which may be used as callerid for 911
calls must have an address added to the e911 database.  You then need
to arrange to use a/the number corresponding to the address where the
emergency is as the userpart in the SIP From: header.)

For me, it was a pay for option from my upstream provider.

www.intrado.com :)  There is no way to do it yourself.  You will need to
contract with a PS/ALI vendor.

Yes, there is a way to do it yourself. It is very complex so the
audience is way too small for anybody to offer a free howto or docs on
the web. The total costs will not be low, so you might as well start out
by hiring a consultant with the right experience. Begin by posting your
need for such a person on http://www.asteriskhelpdesk.com/, the -biz
mailing list, the jobs forum on http://forums.digium.com/ and similiar
places.

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.
