[Asterisk-Users] Enhanced 911

[Damon Estep]

I think your question needs to be "can my dial tone provider handle
e911?"

e911 is implemented by the party providing dial tone on the PSTN, at
some point your call must be routed to the PSTN to reach 911.

When you call 911 a dip is done into a psap database to retrieve the
address data and it is transmitted to the 911 dispatcher. This would not
be handled by *, but by the PSAP, maintainer in your service area.

All * needs to be able to do is transfer the caller ID info, which it
does. The rest is magic outside of *

An example of a 911 services provider is intrado at www.intrado.com
