If you're not using DIDs, I think you are out of luck. I don't know of any way around this :/ (if anyone has a better solution or knowledge of a live-update provider, let me know).

<div>I WOULD LOVE for someone to innovate e911, but I suspect there's a lot of regulatory reasons preventing modernization of those systems. That's a startup that could probably get funding too since it's a profitable problem that everyone on this list suffers
from.<br>

So since we can override on a per device basis, you'll notice that I<br>
didn't put an actual address, I put ($Address). This is an important<br>
distinction. <br>

Suppose we could sense a users physical position [...]<br>

Right, but as you readily admitted later, you're speaking in hypotheticals here, while the problem that the OP put forth is a very real problem that exists today and which I still have not heard a good proposed solution for. As far as I know (and your reply
does not seem to contradict this), you cannot have 2 different devices at 2 different physical locations both transmit the same CLID to the PSAP but have the PSAP receive a different address for each; it's not possible to override the address on a per-device
basis, only on a per-TN basis. If you're using DIDs, then great! Problem solved. But if you're not, what is the solution?<br>
<br>
That was specifically the OP's question. In this scenario, there are no DIDs, only one main switchboard number and a bunch of internal extension #s. Can a different address somehow be bound to one of the devices, even if there is only 1 phone number shared
amongst all of them? If the E911 service cannot identify devices in their database on some basis other than by telephone number (MAC address, maybe? transmitted in a custom SIP field?), I don't see how that is possible given the nature of today's systems,
as Mr. Blenke explained.<br>
