911 Services

Let’s say you want an E911 system -- because if you’re a business, you do. We’re straight on that? Good.

E911 services vendor 911 Enable (News - Alert) recently published a white paper outlining ten reasons why you should at least consider the company's E911 offering:

1. 911 Enable delivers a complete E911 offering for IP telephony. From phone management through to call delivery, 911 Enable’s integrated tool ensures functionality and performance.

2. 911 Enable’s primary mandate has always been to respond to the challenges of VoIP 911, and its expertise has established it in the enterprise market. Used in over 1,000 organizations, 911 Enable’s IP-based tools “meet the needs of the most demanding enterprise deployments,” company officials say.

3. 911 Enable provides E911 connectivity to over 6,000 PSAPs across the US and Canada, ensuring emergency support for the entire workforce, including branch offices, work-at-home employees, and teleworkers.

4. 911 Enable “automates and simplifies the management tasks associated with E911,” since IP phones may be tracked automatically, and comprehensive reporting and monitoring tools are accessible via a dashboard.

5. 911 Enable’s professional services team is knowledgeable and experienced, providing step-by-step support throughout the planning, implementation, testing, and maintenance stages to help an implementation remain within the customer’s allocated timeline and budget.

6. 911 Enable offers a low TCO compared to other E911 offerings, as its products eliminate the costs associated with dedicated 911 trunks, local gateways, PS-ALI accounts, ELINs, and hardware/software licensing.

7. 911 Enable provides continuous E911 call routing services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year over a network infrastructure built to the high standards necessary for emergency services -- since 2005, company officials say, it has delivered “100 percent up-time while handling an average of 20,000 911 calls per month.”

8. 911 Enable’s tools offer more on-site security notification tools than any other E911 offering on the market today, as security personnel may be notified of emergencies via direct call delivery or PSAP monitoring, and alerts may be sent out via email, SMS, and automatic screen pops.

9. 911 Enable’s tools are certified with IP-PBX (News - Alert) vendors, including Cisco, Avaya, Shoretel, 3Com, and Aastra.

10. 911 Enable’s products are compliant with FCC, CRTC, and NENA i2 standards, and meet or exceed E911 regulations across the US and Canada.
