When: |
Live ATIS Webinar: “VoIP
and E911 Critical Implementation Issues”
2:00PM – 3:00PM EST, Monday, March 8, 2004 |
Webinar Content:
One of the major challenges facing VoIP services is
the lack of technical standards in place that allow customers
to initialize calls to the proper 911 call center in an emergency.
To respond to these VoIP challenges, ATIS’ Emergency Services
Interconnection Forum (ESIF) recently launched a new “IP
Coordination Ad Hoc Committee” to contribute to the planning,
development, and architectural design of an overall IP-based
Enhanced 911 (E911) system.
The ATIS Webinar will provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges
facing VoIP and E911 network compatibility when 911 calls are
placed over an IP based system. Representatives from the ESIF
IP Co-ordination Ad-Hoc Committee will provide an overview of
VoIP and E911 network architecture. Potential solutions and
next-steps toward the collaboration and function of each network
will also be discussed.
