> Hello,
>
> The E911 solution I'm working on has just issued a press release.
> Dash911 offers a lowered signup cost for Asterisk users as we'll deliver a
> pre-tested solution for Asterisk, so integration and testing is quicker.
> This is essentially an enhanced version of what Intrado offers, resold for
> smaller companies.
>
> When a call comes in, a simple HTTP request is sent to our servers,
> and the reply will contain the 10-digit number + caller ID to set. From
> there, you simply use your current PSTN connection. We chose this path
> because it has "less moving parts", and is far easier for our customers to
> implement than having to SIP to different endpoints. As well, there will 
> be
> fewer quality issues, as VoIP providers should already have their PSTN
> connection already working fine.
>
> The system will work by always giving you a 10-digit PSTN redirect +
> caller ID to send. However, that 10-digit number is not always a PSAP 
> (i.e.,
> it's unlike other 911 solutions). As Intrado migrates more markets over to
> I-2 (true E911), more and more calls will be hitting a gateway via the
> 10-digit redirect, and from there going VoIP via dedicated links to 
> Intrado.
> ALI information will be delivered on such calls.
>
> In addition, Dash911 will offer providers a private labeled website
> so that subscribers users can enter their addresses. A SOAP interface will
> also be provided, to integrate E911 it into existing systems.
>
> Our prices are very reasonable, and the monthly minimum is $200.
> Setup is only $835 for Asterisk users. No obligation pre-registration is
> available now (until June 30th) -- get the setup discount + $200 against
> monthly fees. Dash911 will go live and be processing calls in July 2005.
>
> I welcome all questions and comments.

> Thank you,

> 2005. However, providing these services can be expensive in terms of
> implementation effort, hardware, software and increased overhead expenses.

> E911
> services to broadband telephony subscribers through pre-engineered server
> plugins, and private label subscriber-facing web pages branded with the

>
> The Dash911 system of E911 services offers nationwide USA coverage and is
> fully-compliant with the FCC ruling and will provide a more advanced
> solution that the commonly-referred to "ten digit redirect".
>
> The Dash911 system is engineered to be triple-redundant with
> high-availability, carrier class, failover and fault-tolerant servers in
> multiple geographic locations. For extreme emergency situations due to any
> unlikely system problems there is a live person and manually-handled call
> routing backup feature to ensure 100% E911 call completion. To complete 
> the
> offering, Dash911 enabled VoIP providers will also be covered by a
> $1,000,000 insurance policy in relation to E911 emergency calls.
>
> In an effort to help startup and smaller VoIP providers be competitive, 
> the
> Dash911 E911 system is pre-engineered to work with all Asterisk-based VoIP
> provider systems without any modifications.
