New FCC Rules Bring 'Bounce-Back' Messages and More to Text-to-911
The idea of sending a text message to 911 is a sound one -- it's a mostly silent approach, after all, which can have its own value in high-stress situations -- but it's not a technology that's available just anywhere. New rules that recently emerged from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), however, are providing new guidance to providers in terms of handling those who try in areas where the technology isn't available, while also requiring development in the direction of allowing all users to have text-to-911 technology. 5/21/2013

Are Current E911 Laws Enough to Protect the People?
The idea that the U.S. needs legislation to govern the proper handling of emergency calls is something that has been reinforced with a national 9-1-1 network. When mobile devices rapidly began to replace landlines as the primary method of communication and businesses migrated to all IP environments, it became more difficult to pinpoint location when a call was completed. Next generation communication technology demanded a new approach, one that is satisfied with E911 hosted solutions. 5/17/2013

How to Implement E911
The lack of location information attached to an outgoing 9-1-1 call placed from behind a multi-line telephone system can result in tragedy. Unfortunately, the majority of organizations that utilize a PBX are either unaware that an issue even exists, or have found the task to implement for E9-1-1 to be too complex or cost-prohibitive. Add VoIP phones, SIP trunking, multi-site campuses, or remote workers into the mix and a telecom director is suddenly faced with a project that seems insurmountable, both cost-wise and from a time management perspective. It’s a project, though, that can’t be ignored: measures must be taken to ensure compliance with legislation, avoid liability issues, and most importantly – protect the organization’s people. With so many pieces of the puzzle to put together it can be difficult to know where to begin. This white paper explains the different pieces to consider when implementing E9-1-1 and suggests best options on simplifying the process. E911 Legislation
