You Need to Test 911

A recent No Jitter webinar revealed that 66% of organizations test their 911 service, while the remaining third do not. With RAY BAUM's Act implementation deadlines requiring dispatchable location for VoIP 911 calls, testing 911 is crucial to ensure accurate address information for each endpoint. Bandwidth offers a simple and straightforward live 911 connectivity testing process during onboarding, including coordination with public safety answering points (PSAPs). Additionally, the unlimited 933 testing feature allows organizations to confirm endpoint address information without disrupting normal 911 operations. The frequency of testing should be determined by an organization's size and unique needs, aligning with emergency evacuation drills.
