VoIP E911 Update: TUFONE Adds i-911 Safety Response Centers
(ContentDesk) September 8, 2005 -- In a recent ruling, the FCC has ordered that all VoIP providers to have E9-1-1 working effectively before the end of November. Tufone will have a complete E9-1-1 solution within that time frame. Until a complete e911 solution is operation, HBF Group along with Tufone and a handful of VOIP companies have implemented an immediate solution for a better 9-1-1 services for consumers.The i-911 VoIP solution Tufone, Inc.'s customers are using was designed by HBF and programmed into the Tufone system by Joao Vianna, VP of R&D and Andre Simoes, VP of
IT.
The system now routes 9-1-1 calls directly to the i-911 Safety Response Centers where they are answered by a live operator who will verify the caller's location and route the call to the correct Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) while staying on the phone with the caller to confirm that help is received.The i-911 Safety Response Centers, which are located throughout Canada and the U.S., are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and support multiple languages. A Service Provider can choose to have 9-1-1 calls from subscribers go directly to a live Safety Response Center operator.
This is particularly important for nomadic users who change the location of their VoIP device, but may not have updated their current location information. It is also a benefit for subscribers who have not opted-in for 9-1-1 service since they can be routed directly to the i-911 Safety Response Center."The FCC's order for E-911 firmly established the future growth for VOIP telephone technology in the United States. No longer will there be any significant difference from VOIP companies to the traditional landline companies, such as Verizon, except in the lower costs and more complete services provided by the VOIP companies, states Moses Apsan, President of Tufone, Inc. Tufone and HBF are members of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA).
HBF is partnering with NENA on its Next Generation E9-1-1 Program, which is focused on upgrading North America's 9-1-1 systems by implementing next-generation technologies, procedures and best practices.About TUFONE ? www.tufone.comTufone, Inc.

Residential VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, services are provided for two segments: businesses and consumers. Consumer VoIP is targeted at homes and hence referred to as residential VoIP. As with any other consumer product, the demand for residential VoIP is driven by cost and quality of service.
With more homes taking to the broadband services for entertainment, news and online purchases, voice-based services, almost free, have caused the consumers to switch to the VoIP telephony. The demand is such that according to Frost and Sullivan Research, consumer VoIP is expected to grow 77 times in the next three years, and the market is expected to generate $700 million in revenues by 2007.
The residential VoIP components are ATAs, phones with built-in routers, IP phones and other hardware accessories. Software services are also slowly catching up.

New Online Discussion Forum Makes Learning About VOIP Simple
VOIP or voice over internet phone continues to rise in popularity largely in part to the deeply discounted calling rates and heavy marketing efforts from major VOIP companies such as Vonage and CallVantage, the AT&T VOIP service.

VoIP - Thee Emerging Technology
Changes in technology are opening doors and creating jobs that simply didn't exist a few years ago. VoIP is one of those areas, and this emerging technology has produced significant changes in the way people communicate. Understanding VoIP is rather difficult for many, but the concept is actually a fairly basic one.
VoIP is the acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol. Most commonly, the term is written as VoIP (note the small "o"), though there are many other terms that refer to this same process. Telephony is one of those terms, and Broadband telephony is another.
The idea of VoIP is too simply to create a network and then allow people to send all sorts of transmissions across that same network.
Consider what that can do to the costs of communicating in some situations.
For example, a large office of a half-century ago would likely have two major methods of communication. There'd be a telephone system that connected all the desks...
