  • Traditional telephone services have generally associated a particular telephone number with a fixed address. Portable interconnected VoIP services enables consumers to take their home or business telephone service almost anywhere. Because certain interconnected VoIP services are portable, or can be used from virtually any Internet connection anywhere, the location of the caller may not be capable of being determined automatically. This portability raises a number of challenges for the emergency services community. Although the FCC has taken action to make sure that emergency calls from these VoIP services will get through to the appropriate public safety authorities, there are still possible differences between VoIP E911 and traditional wireline E911 service. When a person call 911 from a traditional telephone, the call in most cases is sent to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) that is responsible for helping people in a particular geographic area or community. PSAP personnel often can automatically identify the caller's location and direct the closest emergency personnel to that location. They also often can automatically identify the caller's telephone number so that they can call back if the caller is disconnected.
