VoIP E911 Update
Vonage now supports the National Emergency Number Association’s (NENA) new interim/migratory (i2) technical standard for VoIP E911.
The release of the i2 technical standard is NENA’s first major standard combining the new technology of Voice over the Internet and the existing Enhanced 911 (E911) system interface. The i2 technical standard enables VoIP providers to deliver full E911 service through the current E911 infrastructure. It is the first of a two part system overhaul effort
surrounding IP that was started in 2003 and the first major E911 system design effort since its creation in the 1970’s.
The VoIP industry has been working cooperatively with NENA, network owners and public safety to establish the ‘rules of the road’ for VoIP E911 services — including nomadic services like Vonage’s,” said David Jones, ENP, President of NENA. “The creation of this standard is two years in the making — a testament to the hard work and dedication we’ve all put in to get E911 to all customers throughout the U.S. as quickly as possible. The national deployment of VoIP E911 is significant challenge requiring the cooperation and collaboration among many parties. The NENA i2 standard is designed to provide a blueprint for all parties to work together on the same page. We are pleased
that Vonage is committed to a standards-based deployment of E911.”
