Use a private IP network to deliver 9-1-1 calls. Current project = $1.9million Federal Grant & Local (ECD) Funding Wireless Board + Excess Phase II = ECD match ASA connects ECDs to AREN Alabama Research & Education Network Minimum T1 - 10Mbs where available Provide black box for non-IP ready PSAPs Wireless Board Managing the Grant

Actual 9-1-1 network will not use the Internet Nice to know we could as a last resort Done to save $ and time Calls generated today are tricked We have to get them into the test network CallWorx position is via server at Shelby Guardian position is via server in Chicago Conduct several call path / failure scenarios
9-1-1 Call to Elmore County Black Box converts IP to CAMA for Synapse Call Taker determines problem is in Florence How do we handle cross LATA today? Black Box converts to IP for AREN ROUTER sends call to Florence 9-1-1 Call rings at Florence Callworx
9-1-1 Call to Shelby County via IP Call Taker determines problem is in Florence Direct IP connection to AREN from CallWorx CallWorx knows to transfer via IP to extension Simulates primary PSAP with secondary Shelby Transfers call to Florence - CallWorx Cross LATA again Could just as easily transfer to Elmore / Legacy
9-1-1 Call to Florence Guardian Call Taker transfers to Florence CallWorx CallWorx decides it is really Elmore s Call Caller is transferred to Elmore Could just as easily be transferred again
9-1-1 Call to Guardian Call Taker determines this is a wide area event Dam break, explosion, nuclear issue, etc Does a Transfer to CallWorx & Elmore Could be any number of locations
Guardian has a network issue 9-1-1 Call for Guardian is made ROUTER detects IP network issue Call is routed to CallWorx (Guardian specified CallWorx as their backup)
Call routed automatically ASC initiates a ticket on the IP connection
