Deep dives
Understanding E911 Requirements in the US
E911 involves locating a user's position during a 911 call from Microsoft Teams or other supporting phone systems. It ensures accurate user location information is sent to the Public Service Answering Point (PSAP). US E911 laws vary by state, with some states having stricter requirements. Compliance with E911 is crucial during telephony system transitions to platforms like Microsoft Teams.
Importance of E911 Service Providers in Teams
Service providers like Intrado play a key role in connecting businesses with their telephony systems to PSAPs. Intrado acts as a middleman ensuring call routing based on location data from Teams configuration. Dynamic and manual location entries determine call routing to the nearest PSAP, offering critical support for emergency situations.
Implementing Emergency Calling Policies in Teams
Emergency calling policies in Teams notify designated users or groups when an emergency call is made from specific locations. Site-specific policies ensure notifications reach relevant personnel like security or reception. The global policy functions as a catch-all for users with undetermined locations. External lookup mode enables users to input addresses for accurate emergency responses, emphasizing legal compliance and efficient emergency services management.
