[VoiceOps] Hotel Phone

[Ryan Delgrosso]

FWIW YOu need to provide per room routing but a DID per room isnt 
required if you can make that happen other ways.

For example, West now offers in their NG platform to send an XML body 
with the invite to provide details intra-building routing. You still 
need to provide descreet callback info, but for that suite of 100 hotel 
rooms, you could use a block of 5-10 numbers and assign them to each 
room that dials 911 for a temporary callback period, this will give you 
bi-directional reachability from a 911 perspective without managing and 
provisioning hundreds of sparsley used numbers.

You could also leverage their enterprise 911 option where you send a 
distinct sip URI that is statically mapped to a location (address and 
room/floor etc) and they will masquerade to the PSAP with a unique phone 
number.

Personally if i were designing a system today (and I am) i would take 
the first option and supply the info in the outbound invite for maximum 
flexibility.
