I'm not sure whether this thread ulimately results in some kind of VOIP, since I have not been following the thread very astutely. A radio "Tech Brief" from WINS in New York today mentions the fact that many VOIP solutions do not permit 911 calls to be located to the premises where they originate. This could be a serious problem for someone who could not, for some reason, speak. Gagged, overcome by smoke, stroke victim, whatever. The radio suggests that anyone considering a VOIP solution for telephone service verify with the supplier
Hey Group; As a HAM radio operator we also have the same problem using our phone patches which are remote repeaters in the USA. That is because the remote 911 dialer calls from a site which is not related to a true street address of the calling station. I would suspect this same problem would happen to a IP phone unless the dailer has a set of databases with the previously know address and you are at a fixed location. 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage: " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs: " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMWMOA #: 4146 LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316
