VIXXI was chosen because their IP-based, geospatial technology is ideal for VoIP vendors who are required by the FCC to provide their customers with an E911 Solution that identifies caller location information and correctly routes emergency calls to the appropriate PSAP.
By serving as a hub between a wireless network, location determination equipment and the 9-1-1 network, an MPC or GMLC participates in the process of routing a 9-1-1 call a nd providing a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) with a callback number and caller location information, as required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Wireless issues raised include: proper routing of 911 calls, grade of service, 911 call priority, caller location information, re-ring/call back, common channel signaling, access to text telephone devices, caller identification privacy, compatibility with network services, preemption of state regulations, and the time table for implementation.
Most importantly, these named agreements allow Intrado's VSP customers and their subscribers to gain full benefit from the V9-1-1 Mobility Service's ability to provide caller location information to the call taker in the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) valid format required for effective emergency dispatch.
Developed by Intrado subsidiary bmd wireless, these innovative offerings support emergency and commercial location-based services and provide an immediate solution for operators within the European Union member states looking to meet the European Commission's E112 directive to make caller location information available to authorities handling emergencies.
