(PRWEB) June 14, 2004 -- HBF Group, Inc. Announces I-911 Voice Over IP (VoIP) Solution for VoIP Providers and the Emergency Services Industry.
i-911 addresses the deficiencies in other commercially VoIP 911 available solutions by providing a 911 emergency calling service that is deployable immediately , requires little or no change to the public safety answering points (PSAPs). i-911 offers a significant improvement over other VoIP solutions as it delivers accurate call back and location information from a 9-1-1 call in real-time.
HBF Group, Inc., North Americas first provider of E9-1-1 technologies, has developed a revolutionary VoIP solution in that it emulates the current wireline 911 environment with the delivery of accurate location information and call back number. i-911 is designed to be evolutionary as well with a design that will grow as the VoIP industry changes and matures as industry standards evolve.
Until now, most commercially available solutions have calls being delivered to a 10 digit PSAP telephone number with no callback telephone number or location information. i-911 leverages the VoIP providers data infrastructure and NENAs (National Emergency Number Association) XML standards to deliver both callback and location information. This affords PSAPs the ability to dispatch emergency services even in the event that an emergency call is disconnected or the caller can not speak.
HBF believes that the VoIP 911 solutions deployed to date are an accident waiting to happen. The average consumer does not understand that their VoIP phone will not give location information to the 911 first responders. With i-911, VoIP providers can deploy a 911 solution that provides its customers with the coverage and functionality that they expect" says Hank Johnson, CEO of HBF Group. We are pleased to be able to offer this life saving technology to the VoIP industry."
HBF will unveil and demonstrate its i-911 VoIP solution at the annual National Emergency Number Association, June 14th in Tampa FL.
