E911 Anywhere®

E911 Anywhere® has two basic requirements: an IP call server capable of sending a 911 call over an IP connection and an Internet connection to access the E911 Anywhere® Web portal.

The IP call server and the 911 call path

E911 Anywhere® requires an IP call server that is capable of outputting a 911 call over an IP broadband connection (T1, Cable modem, MPLS, SIP trunk, etc.). The 911 call is sent to E911 Anywhere® as a native IP telephone call using SIP signaling. The 911 call arrives at the E911 Anywhere® session border controller where it is processed. Note: 911 calls can be sent over any connection to the Internet - SIP trunks are NOT required.

A Web browser is used to connect to the E911 Anywhere® Web portal. After a secure log-in using a digital certificate, an administrator can update the location of all phones on the portal.
