Swedes show solution for VoIP emergency calls?
Tony Dennis writes in The Inquirer:
AS THE VOIP industry was getting its collective knickers in a twist over the ability to provide a guranteed capability for calls to reach the emergency services, a pair of Swedish companies have come up with the solution, as if by magic.
Operax, a Swedish software house, has banded together with Swedish hardware supplier, i3 Micro Technology to pull this particular rabbit out of a hat.
The duo has developed a system for next-generation telephone networks (NGNs) such as BT's 21 century network and a similar scheme here in Sweden by TeliaSonera.
Basically the package offers a guaranteed QoS connexion for an emegency call from the VoIP's subscriber's equipment. It means that the call will succeed even if the connexion is loaded with data or video calls.
The pair claim that it will meet the demands of the US National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) requirements.
Until now the general feelling here at the VON Europe exhibition show in Stockholm was that the US' E911 dictat might stamp on the growth of VoIP networks in general.
