911 Now Available Across The US On Vonage® VoIP Service
Written by Vonage
Wednesday, 14 December 2005
Holmdel, NJ, December 14, 2005 Vonage America, a subsidiary of Vonage Holdings Corp., announced today that all of its customers now have access to 911 services. Today, any Vonage customer in the U.S. who dials 911, will get help when they need it most.
How It Works
Vonage currently offers E911 or enhanced 911 throughout the US, by sending the call, along with the customers address and phone number, to the proper local emergency call center based on the callers street address. The callers information is then displayed on the dispatchers screen whenever they dial the digits 9-1-1 from a Vonage phone. In the event local authorities cannot display the Vonage customers phone number or address, Vonage offers basic 911. Basic 911 is a service in which the customers emergency call is delivered through the traditional 911 network and the call is answered by a trained dispatcher in the local public safety answering point (PSAP), or 911 call center. Finally, Vonage provides an additional safety net to customers if traditional 911 methods fail or are not available: customers receive support from emergency trained personnel at Vonages national 911 emergency response center, which is supported by APCO 33 trained personnel and serves customers throughout the US.
Vonage shares a common goal with the FCC, Congress, public safety officials and regulators: to deploy E911 service for all subscribers as soon as possible, said Jeffrey A. Citron, Vonages Chairman and CEO. We are dedicating every resource at our command toward turning up a national E911 system not only are we spending over $50 million, but were working with public safety to create a framework to hasten this national deployment and remove any local roadblocks weve encountered.
