I'm there too...... But i Know 911 enable does have an on site appliance so we can do the same as CER. <div><br></div><div>But where I think the "dirty feeling SIP" does come into place is with lots of telecommuters. I know of a very large company that has hundreds if not thousands of telecommuters that have soft and hard phones at home. They (the company) feels that they should provide 911 service to there telecommuters. Since each telecommuter does not have a VGW they use a E911 SIP provider to route the call to the correct PSAP. Now if you don't have any VGWs in a city that a telecommuter might be in.... I can see it.<div>
<br></div><div>But for a normal environment...... I do understand the "dirty" feeling.</div><div><br></div><div>Scott<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 10:19 AM, Rick Gilliam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rdg7656@yahoo.com">rdg7656@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Does anyone use any of those “hosted” E911 services (e.g. 911 Enable, Red Sky, etc.) where you send them the 911 calls over the Internet using SIP?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In my mind, sending calls over the Internet feels dirty and wrong, and sending emergency calls that way feels just plain stupid. How do you deal with lack of QoS and having basically no control over availability or capacity? For regular calls, I could understand just living with it (in some applications) - but for 911? Seriously?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is hosted E911 one of those services that looks pretty in a marketing PDF but nobody actually uses in real life?</div>
