Emergency Response Solutions

With an increased public awareness and heightened concerns over emergency call handling, enterprises and governments at all levels are required to address multi-line telephone system (MLTS) 911 call handling with greater efficiency. The requirements needed to comply with the E-911 legislative requirements can be summarized as the ability to:

• Initiate and recognize a 911 call within the MLTS
• Route the 911 calls externally to defined PSAP without interference of the call
• Obtain a location identifier and call back telephone number from where the calls originated (through the PSAP)
• Respond to a 911 call and dispatch Emergency Services to the exact location
• Locate quickly the caller in distress within the premises from where the 911 call originated

These requirements translate into resilient and robust solutions that must:

• Be cognizant of all telephone appliances locations and movements, which could be utilized to place a 911 call
• Detect a 911 call and place it on the designated 911 reserved communication port(s)
• Detect the origin of a 911 call within the building
• Never intercept or interfere with the 911 call as it progresses to the outside network
• Pass the necessary call information out to the PSAP for correlation of the call / caller information to an origin address and location
• Deliver to the PSAP moves, adds and changes (MACs) information 24/7 at designated times
• Provide facilities for access to call tracing
• Provide capabilities for custom reporting of calls, transactions and updates to the PSAP
