[cisco-voip] mobile devices and 911

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

This is definitely an interesting one. 

For the smartphone client, there is a parameter that allows you to enter certain numbers that will be dialed by the mobile phone not the jabber client. Tried it, it works great. 

For IPCommunicator I would say, engage your local PSAP and see what they would like to do. I'm guessing, a special DID for this group of users, or a DID for each one, with an extra information line saying they are mobile clients and to ask them their location first or something like that. 

I was talking to our 911 rep and he mentioned something like 911 handlers which will ask particular information first and transfer you to the correct PSAP, but I never really got more detail on this. 

Anyways, just some options...

Looking for ideas... 

With the popularity of Cisco's mobile solutions (IP Communicator, 
smartphone clients, etc.) what is everyone doing for 911? 

Are you setting up the CSS to disallow 911 calls? 

Thanks!
