E911 services frequently asked questions
What exactly is E911?
E911 stands for enhanced 911.
It’s a system used in North America that ensures when you call 911, your precise location (down to your desk, if you’re in an office) is shared with 911 dispatchers. This means public safety can get to you as quickly as possible.
How do Bandwidth's E911 services work?
Any incoming 911 call is routed to a PSAP, or a Public Safety Answer Point. There are thousands of PSAPs across the country. A dispatcher working at a PSAP answers your call and receives your exact location through the E911 software. Then, emergency services are sent your way.
Do I have to have E911 services?
E911 services are required for all interconnected VoIP service providers. The FCC requires this for the safety of VoIP users.
Our E911 guide goes more in-depth on these requirements.
It’s also important to note that these regulations are often changing, so it’s important to stay up to date with things like Kari’s Law or the Ray Baum’s Act.
