UNC takes big step forward in E911 location Services

University of North Carolina's ITS department is making headways in providing location services for VOIP and Mobile VOIP services within the campus.
ITS has asked assistance from Intrado, Inc. in Longmont, Colo., for deployment of next generation 911 services
“911 for VoIP is a hot topic for VoIP carriers like Vonage right now,” said Patrick Brooks, lead developer for Telecom R&D’s Real Time Communications (RTC) project. “But our added component of mobility will likely put UNC ahead of the carriers.”

(Brooks is a member of the National Emergency Number Association VoIP Location Working Group, which is defining the architecture of the next generation national emergency services platform in the United States.)
