Initiative to Develop Reliable E911 for VoIP Users

Pantel and IPextreme jointly announce the establishment of a strategic development initiative addressing the problem of automatic location of 911 emergency calls within an Internet protocol telephone network built on a ColdFire microprocessor platform. This initiative will enable emergency calls placed using VOIP telephone services to be properly located based on the geographic location of the call.

Currently, emergency calls placed using VOIP services are not automatically dispatched to the physical location of the call, but rather to the address listed on the caller’s account. The ELI is an innovative IP appliance that will enable the dispatch center to immediately identify the physical location of the call correctly, thus ensuring that first responders are directed to the proper location.

Pantel has been selected by the concept’s originator, VoIP Solutions of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to provide engineering and manufacturing expertise. Pantel’s experience in public safety communications, teamed with IPextreme’s rich semiconductor intellectual property portfolio and specialized ASIC design capabilities, will ensure the reliability of the ELI.
