Call2Teams launches Dynamic Emergency Trunk (DET), a compliant, agile and simple Nomadic E911 DRaaS option for Microsoft Teams.
At Call2Teams we know how critical it is for our US based partners to comply with Ray Baum’s legislation, and the importance of their enterprise customers requirements that the dispatchable location is readily available in the event of a 911 emergency – regardless of location, be it on a large campus or a multi-story office building.
Activating Dynamic Emergency Trunk is simple. Speak to your Account Manager or contact us to find out how we can support you with Microsoft Teams Nomadic E911.
What is DET?
DET is a purchasable feature as part of the Call2Teams solution, it enables dynamic location information to be passed to your E911 trunk provider, via Emergency Routing Service (ERS).
How DET works
Most PBX’s can’t digest the PIDF-LO messaging within the SIP INVITE and so usually respond with a 405 Method Not Allowed causing the Emergency Calls to drop.
DET is a feature add on to the Call2Teams PBX product which allows Call2Teams to route calls, which contain an Emergency Header and/or PIDF-LO, from Microsoft Teams to your chosen emergency routing provider.
Call2Teams has proven interoperability major Emergency Trunk providers, such as; Bandwidth and Intrado. If you have Emergency Trunks with other providers, we are able to quickly establish interoperability, reducing lead time to getting DET deployed.
Enabling DET for your customers
Activating DET is straight forward. We provide a service with this feature, giving you as much as a helping hand as possible1:
