[Asterisk-biz] E911 VoIP Solution - Dash911

[Michael Giagnocavo]

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,
Michael Giagnocavo

DASH911.com Offers E911 Services for VoIP Providers

Miami, FL   - Dash911, an innovative technology engineering company, will
begin offering E911 capability to VoIP providers nationwide in the USA.

The new FCC ruling requires that all Internet broadband telephone providers
(VoIP providers) must offer E911 service to their subscribers by October
2005. However, providing these services can be expensive in terms of
implementation effort, hardware, software and increased overhead expenses.

Dash911 offers VoIP providers a low-cost method of immediately offering E911
services to broadband telephony subscribers through pre-engineered server
plugins, and private label subscriber-facing web pages branded with the VoIP
provider’s name and logo.

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.

Prices for implementing Dash911’s E911 service start at a one-time $985
integration fee plus $0.73 to $1.21 per DID per month. Complete details and
signup information available at www.Dash911.com
