Why E911? Real-Life Stories • Man Found Dead After Phone Glitch Confuses 911 UPDATED - Monday April 24, 2006 6:07am • eVideo: 911 Error Blamed on Computer GlitchGaithersburg (AP) - An immigrant from Bangladesh was found dead at his Gaithersburg office this week, hours after he called 911 saying he needed medical help. The Washington Post reports ‘X’ phoned for help 40 minutes after he started work at a medical company in Gaithersburg on Tuesday - but almost 10 hours passed before somebody found him lying on the floor of his office. Police said an apparent phone glitch sent medical personnel to the wrong address - and, finding nothing amiss, they believed the call was unfounded.

E911 ALI and ANIComponents • What is ALI? • Automatic Location Identification (ALI) • ALI provides the Public Safety Answering Point with the location information for emergency personnel • What is ALI data? • A format that includes • Phone number • Location, 20 characters • Business name • Street directional • Street name • Community and state
How did the location information for phone number (312)555-1111 get into the Public Safety Answering Point’s Server? AND Who is responsible for getting it there? Well, it’s quite the Challenge to an organization as you’ll see….
E911: The Key Requirements • Implement ISDN PRI or CAMA • Passes ANI or unique telephone number of 911 caller • Ensures proper call routing through the PSTN • 911 center must be able to call back the 911 caller • Identifies appropriate ALI association • Establish and Maintain ALI at regional databases • Define location information for every phone • Send data to regional E911 databases in NENA format • Establish process for ongoing ALI updates • Monitor acceptance and verification to ensure accuracy • Track and store historical and transaction detail • Record of risk management and compliance • Evidence in the event of litigation • Engage the time and resources to complete the task
E911 Manager ALI Update ProcessWhere RedSky Comes In and Makes it Easier…
Three Ways to Manage Location Information • Use the station screens in the call server software • Establish network regions • Use network discovery
Step 2 Step 1 E911 Manager interfaces to each Call Server/PBX to import updated station location information Telecom Administrator performs MACs on the PBX Step 3 E911 Manager interfaces to the regional E911 gateways to perform ALI updates in NENA format Step 4 PSAP servers around the country receive ALI updates E911 Manager – Steps for Ongoing ALI Management
Challenges of E911 in VoIP Networks • Mobility – • Users can move around on the network • Location Definition – • “Real Time” location control • How precise do you describe your location? • Using Network Regions and Network Discovery
