What is E911?

We mentioned earlier that E911 stands for Enhanced 911, and it’s the part of the 911 system that automatically ties a location to the call—whether it’s a specific address or coordinates.


Why is This Important?

It assigns a physical address to your number. E911 allows you to communicate metadata when emergency calls are made for a faster response than would normally occur. In short, e911 ties a physical address to your IP phone numbers, making it possible for Fire / Police/ other Emergency Services teams to be sent to an accurate location. If a phone is physically moved to a new address, that information should be updated immediately.
