911 ETC, Who We Are
The Industry Leader in ASP automation of Enterprise Enhanced 911
A Fully Developed Product An Experienced Management Team An Excellent and Diverse Customer Base Strong Industry Partners and Alliances
911 ETC, Incorporated Founded in 1995 / Based near Seattle, WA
(Everett) 911 ETC maintains Customer Data
911 ETC provides Enhanced 911 Database Management and On-site Emergency Notification to provide Precise Location Information
911 ETC interfaces for Customers to National DatabasesETC assists in interfacing end-user’s Telecom network PBX (Private Branch Exchange)/VoIP Networks with the local PSAP (Public Safety Answer Point) to provide Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Automatic Location Identification (ALI) necessary for all Enhanced 911 calls.
What is E-911? Providing Precise Location Information to
Emergency responders when a 9-1-1 call is placed
If you dial “9” or some other numbers to get an “outside line”, chances are that the address that comes up to the emergency responder on the other end of your call does not pin-point your location. The information could be a Billing address or main office location vs. your precise location.

Did you know?
Approximately 240 Million 9-1-1 calls are placed each year in the US?
That is approximately:657,534 a day27,397 each hour456 each minute7.6 every second
15 States with Current E-911 Legislation
(Six States have legislation currently pending)
Who is Responsible?A Technical Requirements
Document published in February of 2009 by NENA states:
“Recent technology innovations have made it critically important for organizations to address the challenge of identifying the location of the users of communications systems during emergencies in the Multi Line Telephone System (MLTS) environment. . . The owner of or leadership of the organization who gains benefit from the services of an MLTS is ultimately responsible to ensure that the information contained in the PS/ALI database is accurate.”
Why Implement E-911? Ethical
It is the right thing to do Protects the organization’s people
Legal Enhanced 911 is being mandated across much of the
U.S. Various mandates in 20 states; 6 with legislation
pending FCC VoIP E911 Order/S.428 VoIP 911 Bill
Risk Management Potential liability from employee suit if 911 was
unable to respond New focus on terrorism has heightened awareness Employee Safety Visitor / Guest Safety
E911 Solution Options
Do It Yourself:
Least cost on front end Least cost to maintain (Human
capital?) Manual process Responsibility risk liability retained
(flag and fix errors)
E911 Solution Options
Automation – Buy a Boxed Solution:
High Cost on front-end Automated Process Reasonable cost to maintain
Software maintenance Human capital costs
Responsibility risk liability retained (flag and fix errors)
E911 Solution Options
Software as a Service (SaaS) Solution:
Reasonable cost on front-end Reasonable cost to maintain Automated Process Responsibility risk liability shifted to provider
(flag and fix errors)
Considerations: TelcoFacilities and Routing the 911
Call:
ISDN PRI, SIP, or CAMA Trunks Central Office SS7 signaling or
equivalent? VoIP Network Positioning Server Selective Router serving area
Multiple Area codes in Enterprise
PSAP Geographic Serving Area
Considerations: Telco (cont.)PS/ALI or SIP Gateway (ILEC /CLEC)Locator ID, Informed PRI, PinPoint Service, Verizon-PSALI911 Enable, Dash, VIXXI
Build E911 DID Database SIP Provider Databases Submission of Data to Telco
Fix errors and resubmit Repeat until data is clean
Update Data daily or on schedule Fix database errors and resubmit to Telco
Error codes DID Range, NENA ID, etc. (Verizon has 72 different error codes)
Considerations: PBXCall Routing• Enterprise networked?• ANI turned on and pushed through to
the PSTN (Caller ID presented to network?)
• ISDN, SIP, or CAMA trunks (dedicated)
Administration• Telephone location ID set-up within the
PBX• Tie station table with location ID to E-
911 DID database (s)• Traditional MAC management• User self administration
Considerations: PBX (cont.)TDM / IP /Hybrid or both• IP users stationary (digital sets)• Remote business sites, virtual offices• Mobility (% of total user community)
– Mobile users within the enterprise network – Nomadic IP users
• Costs involved to capture/discover mobile users
Onsite Notification• Avaya Crisis Alert• Adjunct
Additional Considerations When Implementing an E911 Solution:
Complicated and time-consuming implementation A full time employee dedicated to regular E911
maintenance (moves, adds, changes) Employee turnover and training Possible liability risk for unresolved errors Status and Error Reconciliation

What is an ELIN? As defined by NENA:
Emergency Location Identification Number
ELINs are used by the Selective Router to determine the proper PSAP termination
ELINs are also required to be used by: Non-DID telephone stations Multiple Appearance Numbers Zone Level E911 Reporting The granularity of an ELIN can be as specific as a desk
location, or as large as an entire building.
New Common Terms - ERL As defined by NENA:
Emergency Response Location
A location to which a 9-1-1 emergency response team may be dispatched. The location should be specific enough to provide a reasonable opportunity for the emergency response team to quickly locate a caller anywhere within it.

E-911: Protect the workplace and mitigate corporate risk
Federal and State legislators are poised to take additional action on E-911.
The public expects and deserves the most effective emergency response capabilities at work as they have at home.
Ignoring a known hazard could lead to common-law liability: Corporations have a duty to provide a safe working environment and protect employees from known danger.
