How Does Brightspeed Business Voice+ Ensure Reliable 911 and Emergency Call Routing for Distributed Workforces?
Supporting accurate and reliable 911 call routing has become more complex as businesses embrace hybrid and remote work models. With employees working from multiple locations — offices, homes, or co-working spaces — legacy systems often fall short. These systems typically route 911 calls based on a fixed location, which can lead to delays or misrouted calls if the caller isn’t where the system thinks they are. This isn’t just inconvenient — it’s a safety risk.
That’s why Brightspeed Business Voice+ is designed to support dynamic, location-aware 911 call routing, especially for distributed workforces.
Brightspeed Business Voice+ leverages E911 (Enhanced 911) capabilities that dynamically update caller location information and route emergency calls to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). For remote and mobile workers, Brightspeed Business Voice+ uses location-based routing logic and registered user addresses to ensure calls are directed accurately, regardless of where the user is physically located.
In practice, when a user places a 911 call, the system references their most recently registered address or geolocation data — ensuring emergency services are dispatched to the correct place. Brightspeed Business Voice+ also supports enterprise-level configuration, allowing IT teams to predefine and manage emergency call behaviors across multiple sites or user groups. This setup helps organizations maintain compliance and enhance employee safety, no matter where teams are working.
Brightspeed Business Voice+ includes additional safeguards like network redundancy, prioritized call routing, and compliance with evolving federal regulations like Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’s Act. These regulations require direct dial to 911 and dispatchable location accuracy, both of which Brightspeed Voice+ fully supports.
Given the complexity of these configurations, Brightspeed Business’s TDEs work closely with businesses to ensure all 911 routing is properly configured. TDEs assess where users are located, map out response zones, register address details, and validate call flows to ensure compliance and reliability. This level of support gives IT teams peace of mind and helps organizations meet their duty-of-care obligations.
