Intrado conducted test VoIP E9-1-1 calls in a variety of areas throughout New York City using different available location determination technologies. Intrado normalized the outputs from each technology to automatically locate a VoIP caller and pass that information through the native E9-1-1 network to the appropriate PSAP in a usable format. Integration of the technologies used in the trial allows for a solution that minimizes the need for self-provisioning and enables the end user device to determine E9-1-1 status and delivery.
Successful Trial of VoIP Automatic Location Service in New York City
Project Utilizes Multiple Technologies for VoIP E9-1-1 Delivery
Intrado Inc. announced the successful completion of a New York City trial to automatically locate a mobile VoIP 9-1-1 caller. During the trial, Intrado reliably and consistently delivered VoIP location information to the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) to demonstrate that VoIP end user devices such as soft phones can provide useful location information directly into a specific locality's existing E9-1-1 network.
