FCC’s Post 911 Network Info Page

In response to legislation passed this summer, the FCC has posted a notice that its “E911 Architecture Information System” has been activated, and that certain telecom companies are required to submit reports using the system. Under the Net 911 Act that was signed by President Bush, interconnection with 911 is extended to VoIP carriers, and must “analyze their 911 and E911 networks and/or systems and file reports addressing the redundancy, resiliency and reliability of those networks and/or systems.” The companies have until Feb., 2009 to make the reports, which will be consider “confidential,” except for release to APCO, NENA and NASNA.
