What is Kari\u2019s Law?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kari\u2019s Law is created to ensure that everyone in distress can reach a public-safety answering point (PSAP) by dialing 911, with no need to dial a prefix such as 1 or 9 to get to an external line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who needs to be compliant with Kari\u2019s Law?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you manufactured, imported, or offered business phone systems for sale or lease, first sold or leased, or installed after February 16th, 2020, then you are required to follow Kari\u2019s Law now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kari\u2019s Law also requires that notification of these emergency calls is being made and sent to a central location where the phone system is installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Become Compliant with Kari\u2019s Law<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both Sangoma\u2019s on-premise phone systems and hosted PBX systems (FreePBX<\/a>, PBXact<\/a>, and Switchvox<\/a>) are compliant with the location requirement and Kari\u2019s Law. These phone systems require that the customer provide their location during the initial setup process of the phone system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configure the dial plan and notification system<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The on-prem phone system admin and\/or user needs to configure the dial plan to enable the direct E911 dial. If you are using Sangoma\u2019s SIPStation SIP Trunking solution, you can also provide a method of updating their location by completing an online form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For PBXact Cloud users<\/a> to comply with the notification requirements, users will need an end-user admin (or the Sangoma partner) to configure the system and provide notification of these 911 calls to other onsite staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
