Learn More About Our Highly Efficient E911 Service

Intrado Life & Safety developed one of the industry’s first E911 service for Dynamic E911 that was jointly developed and tested with Microsoft. We can help guide you through the extensive considerations involved in implementing such a solution with our 10-point checklist and project management. We work to help you navigate the process and represent your interests along the way to ensure the appropriate arrangement is made.

  • An employee dials 911 using a softphone within your enterprise’s network. Once the 911 caller’s location is tracked, how will the 911 call and location information be routed to the appropriate Public Service Answering Point (PSAP) from the cloud? Will first responders be able to get to the distressed employee quickly, regardless if the call was made on-site or off-premises?
  • Every second matters when 911 is signaled. Intrado Life & Safety builds E911 solutions that enable enterprises to locate and route 911 calls, keeping employees safer by delivering the call and caller’s location information to the correct emergency assistance in the appropriate format — every time, anywhere, with any device.
  • Microsoft Teams can now automatically track and locate 911 calls using Dynamic E911, a cloud-based location tracking feature that is natively integrated in Teams. Intrado’s E911 solution for Microsoft Teams with Direct Routing is able to process 911 calls by routing the call, and location information from the cloud, to the appropriate PSAP. Our E911 solution for Teams also offers standardized E911 capabilities for clients, using multivendor Unified Communications (UC) environments.
  • Protecting what matters most: your employees, your guests, and your customers is critical. Our simplified emergency solutions will help you protect them, while ensuring your enterprise meets state and federal E911 regulations.
  • Intrado Life and Safety’s products are rigorously tested to seamlessly integrate with the following systems:
    o Teams (Direct Routing)
    o Skype for Business on-premises

    1. Enterprise’s administrator logs in to O365, populates the online LIS database with the enterprise’s location network elements (Ethernet, IP subnets and Wireless Access Points (WAP), and assigns location information. Administrator validates the civic address for all locations so the LIS may deliver location data to Teams.

    2. Teams requests the user’s location in 0365, which consists of the BSSID of the WAP, the IP address, and the Ethernet switch port to which the endpoint is physically connected. Once the location request is sent, the online LIS database returns the location of the user back to the Teams client.

    3. When a 911 call is made from Teams, the location data obtained by the LIS is inserted in the signaling, in XML PIDF-LO format, and routed to the customer’s Session Border Controller (SBC).

    4. The customer’s SBC routes the 911 call with the caller’s location to the ERS. The ERS parses the information and delivers the 911 call and location data to the appropriate PSAP.
