E911 for Branch Offices

Many organizations implementing VoIP technology to tie together remote and branch offices are currently experiencing heartburn over what to do about E911.


Implementation costs, maintaining each remote site, and managing updates to the ALI database are all issues that must be managed effectively when providing E911 protection in organizations with branch offices.  


RedSky’s extensive experience working with medium and large organizations to implement automated E911 location information management solutions has led us to create a white paper that is available for free download at our website.


Aptly titled “E911 Solutions for Branch Offices,” the white paper analyzes the key factors that must shape an organization’s decisions about E911 implementation if remote branch offices are involved.  Some of these factors include:

  • How the number of locations impacts the ROI of one option over another
  • How the size of each location in terms of square footage, floors and complexity impacts the level of granularity for location identification
  • How clustering locations into 911 jurisdictions impacts the network


With 14 states having E911 legislation in place, at least four more pending and the FCC closely monitoring VoIP Service Providers, E911 has become an increasingly critical issue that must be managed and incorporated into every organization’s network planning.
  

With this increasing regulatory attention, which is especially focused on VoIP, 911 industry leaders and national standards bodies are working together to develop cost-effective solutions that support the needs of the increasingly nomadic worker. As a participant in these standards initiatives, RedSky continues to develop and implement solutions today that are compliant with these emerging standards in addition to being flexible, scalable and cost effective.
 

For example, E911 Manager supports distributed organizations by automating the data management process from a single server that supports the entire network of call servers and gateways. Also, E911 Manager with Location Information Services (LIS) supports E911 for remote branch offices without the need for local 911 trunks or gateways.
