ideafspy said:the way you speak that sound same as over for VoIP then both are impossible?
I don't know if you are or what are you.Dennis said:E-911 systems for VOIP are still behind. For VOIP, registration is required. For Sorenson's 911 solution, you can't change your phone number on your VP, and there will be no guarantee that you're at the location where the phone number says you're supposed to be. I could put in 555-555-5555 on my VP -- doesn't help 911 find out where I am. I could have my real phone number on there but take my VP to my work and not have the right location. It's a problem that Sorenson just wants to have positive publicity about 911 but they're not creating the right solution for it -- they just want to pressure the FCC into doing things their way.
according to the press release, it would be like thisDennis said:E-911 systems for VOIP are still behind. For VOIP, registration is required.

LinuxGold said:Sorenson VRS now allow us to dial 911. Go Here:
LinuxGold said:In this conversation (this thread), he was not "anti-sorenson", he was not updated recently in last few days since 911 was ADDED to sorenson service. Up to this point, he was correct, 911 (for a long time) was designed to work with hardline (old method) that was converted to proper phone number (i.e. 1-300-xxx-xxxx) that DIRECTS to the local emergency service, something that Internet lacked.
Now with Geo IP technology available, equipments (hardware, software and some communications between services) has been innovated to a point that IP can be backtracked to where it was PHYSICALLY located, but not yet 100% effective due to spoofed IP or hacked activities that might occur.
Y said:Interesting. However, Sorenson VRS strongly suggest that
we keep TTY for quicker emergency access directly to 911
only because 911 already have your home address etc.
Okay Fine... But, I am very very concerned that
we will NOT be able to use TTY anymore within a
few years from now because TTY works very well
with Analog network. FCC will remove Analog Requirement
in 2007 I am surprised about FCC's decision.
People should inform FCC that Analog should NEVER
be removed from the network system ONLY because
we NEED Analog System for TTY 911 emergency !!!!

Mookie said::roll:
What the fast time to contact 911?
Landline TDD!!!!!
How long does it take to turn on VP? Don't forget to turn on TV, switch for computer/modem, and VP. How long will Sorenson terp to response to your 911 call?
I bet Emergency vehicles will arrive when the Sorenson terp will clarfy your location...
LinuxGold said:I agree about turning on TV, switching and things like that.
From the sorenson video concerning 911, the 911 gets the TOP priority (no waiting time) and you will immediately get interpreter ready for 911 calls.
I'm sure when things improve progressively in time, the gap in timing will be greatly reduced.
I plan to buy small TV, to leave it on 24/7 and put it somewhere more confidental and comfortable without having to switch it over to cable, games or dvd. A dedicated TV set for VP only.
Mookie said:Keep in mind that there are relay centers in different regions. What would happen if the power goes out in another region or not enough VRS terps on ONE Sorenson VRS. Why can't Sorenson VRS share with other VRS competiors?
I am not going to use Sorenson 911. I perfer 911% on open VRS competiors via Sorenson VP-100/200. I am sure that Sorenson is an only selfish company who only believes in limited social responsibility...
