Cost-Effective Implementation of Network-Based E911

The FCC has mandated that wireless service providers implement E911 location determining capabilities into their networks. In an environment where competition is constantly pressuring growth and profitability, carriers are struggling to find ways to satisfy this mandate in a cost-neutral way. For carriers who have chosen a network-based approach in implementing E911, Verilink’s WANsuite 7105 product allows for a cost-effective deployment. The built-in mini-DACs capability of the 7105 allows a service provider to integrate the E911 equipment’s need for a single DS0 to reside on the same T1 that currently carries the voice traffic, eliminating the need for additional facilities throughout the deployment.

Features and Benefits

• DSU functionality with integrated mini-DACs provides for the ability to assign any DS0 to E911 equipment while assigning the remaining channels to carry voice traffic
• Software platform allows for unlimited predesigned configuration combinations through Web browser, VT100, or Telnet management interfaces
• Integrated bantam jacks eliminate the need for test equipment by detecting line errors and allowing for looping and BERT injection
• Chassis-based solution with redundant power offers density terminations that exceed Bellcore lightning standards to protect your infrastructure investments
• Each unit supports up to five equipment terminations to support today’s current voice and data technologies as well as tomorrow’s IP-based network applications
