The E911 Issue

  • News stories about E911 and Voice over IP have raised awareness to unprecedented levels
  • Many states require businesses to provide E911 protection for their employees and the FCC is setting policy at the national level.
  • Failure to take action carries the potential for civil and criminal liability
That’s why RedSky has a full range of solutions to help organizations capture, manage and deliver E911 location information. To learn more about RedSky and keep up-to-date on the latest trends and legislation in the E911 space bookmark this page.
