911 protection that they have at home
• If you call 911 from a high-rise or a campus,
nobody knows where you are

importance of E-911

Man Found Dead After Phone Glitch Confuses 911 UPDATED Monday April 24, 2006 6:07am
eVideo: 911 Error Blamed on Computer Glitch
Gaithersburg (AP) - An immigrant from Bangladesh was found dead at his
Gaithersburg office this week, hours after he called 911 saying he needed
medical help.
The Washington Post reports ‘X’ phoned for help 40 minutes after he started
work at a medical company in Gaithersburg on Tuesday - but almost 10
hours passed before somebody found him lying on the floor of his office.
Police said an apparent phone glitch sent medical personnel to the wrong
address - and, finding nothing amiss, they believed the call was unfounded.

E911 ALI and ANI
Components
• What is ALI?

information for emergency personnel
• What is ALI data?
– A format that includes
• Phone number
• Location, 20 characters
• Business name
• Street directional
• Street name
• Community and state

911 Call Processing
www.redskyE911.com
How did the location information for
phone number (312)555-1111 get
into the Public Safety Answering
Point’s Server?
AND
Who is responsible for getting it
there? Well, it’s quite the Challenge
to an organization as you’ll see….
www.redskyE911.com
E911: The Key Requirements
• Implement ISDN PRI or CAMA
–
–
–

Ensures proper call routing through the PSTN
911 center must be able to call back the 911 caller
Identifies appropriate ALI association
• Establish and Maintain ALI at regional databases
–
–
–
–
Define location information for every phone
Send data to regional E911 databases in NENA format
Establish process for ongoing ALI updates
Monitor acceptance and verification to ensure accuracy
• Track and store historical and transaction detail
– Record of risk management and compliance
– Evidence in the event of litigation
• Engage the time and resources to complete the task

E911 – RedSky’s Ability to
Handle Mobility / “Road
Warriors”
New business issues present
opportunity for you…
Issue #1:
The existing 911 network does not support mobility, work at home
or remote offices without local 911 trunks
Issue #2:
Local trunks are not always cost effective or even an option
depending on the type of user
The solution:
RedSky’s integration with Avaya and partnership with Intrado & TCS offers
a solution for home office, remote office and nomadic IP phone users
without local trunks: E911 Manager with Location Information Services (LIS)
www.redskyE911.com
Location Tracking – Remote office, home office and
nomadic workers are tracked when they register
– E911 Manager captures phone registrations and updates
the call server and VoIP Positioning Center with new
location information
E911 Manager Location Information Services (LIS)
www.redskyE911.com
Remote users are prompted to designate new
location upon login to their Avaya softphone
• User must select from
one of four options
• Pre-defined locations are
easily recalled and
selected by the user
• New locations are
validated through RedSky
Location Information
Services
• User can “opt-out” of 911
service by agreeing to a
legal waiver

E911 – RedSky’s
Ability to Provide a
Global E911 Solution
E911 Globally – Factors to
Understand
1)
E911 is not a Global Standard.
2)
Each country has its own Unique Challenges.
3)
RedSky does have a Solution today, a way of
addressing a Global issue.
www.redskyE911.com
E911 Globally – RedSky’s
Solution
•
•
•
•
EON is a corporate wide emergency response system that
can alert Prospect’s own Security personnel worldwide to 911
calls.
There are no geographic limitations to deploying EON.
Roadmap ahead: Canada, UK & Australia have similar E911
Infrastructures to the US.
CAVEAT: Japan & Netherlands have different Systems in
place to handle 911; still, RedSky’s EON with SMS can
handle these Markets.
