E911 location management for modern enterprises

The challenge of mobility

Traditional 911 solutions rely on pre-provisioned addresses, but what about nomadic or non-fixed endpoints? Bandwidth’s E911 Dynamic Location Routing (DLR) lets you route a user’s location at the time of the call, no matter where they are.

Solve E911 with location provisioning

When an employee dials E911, DLR pairs the caller’s information with their provisioned location via defined network elements like subnets, WiFi access points, and Ethernet switches/ports. Then, DLR routes calls and the location information available to the right public safety answering point (PSAP).

Every second counts in a workplace emergency

What’s a dispatchable location?

911 calls from multi-line telephone systems (MLTS) must include a “dispatchable location.” The FCC defines this as “a location delivered to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) with a 911 call that consists of the validated street address of the calling party, plus additional information such as suite, apartment, or similar information necessary to adequately identify the location of the calling party.”

Why does RAY BAUM’s Act matter?

Think of trying to get directions. If you’ve ever circled a complex looking for your actual destination, you’ve experienced the difference between an address and a dispatchable location. You got close, but specificity makes all the difference. This is just like an emergency responder trying to find employees in an office with multiple floors, suites, and rooms. 

Where DLR comes in

Provisioning dispatchable locations for fixed VoIP phones is straightforward. And with Bandwidth’s E911 Dynamic Location Routing, you can meet the requirements of RAY BAUM’s Act for nomadic VoIP and users with softphones.
