pANI IMG Project Plan

Work divided into two phases:

pANI Interim Assignment Guidelines for ESQK

• The purpose of this document is to define the interim guidelines that shall be used by any entity that is assigning Emergency Service Query Keys (ESQKs) for VoIP 9-1-1 compliance

• Designates specific non-dialable 10 digit numbers to be used in the implementation of pANIs, ESQKs for use during VoIP 9-1-1 calls

• The duration of this interim period shall be decided separately by NANC

• Revision made to the 9-2-05 document transmitted to NANC to include additional guidance on the VoIP Interim ESQK Request Form

By applying for this resource, the applicant hereby certifies that it has obtained approval from the appropriate 9-1-1 Governing Authority to provide routing or data retrieval for E9-1-1 traffic to the applicable PSAP. Should it later be determined that such authority has not been obtained, the applicant will be reported to the FCC and the appropriate state commission, and may be denied further resources.

assignments


Phase II - pANI Policy & Guidelines

Issues and Agreements Reached to date:• Should the CLLI code associated with the

relevant Selective Routers and the appropriate NPAs be identified on the ESQK request form?– Agreed that the PSAP Selective Router CLLI is not

needed by Administrator.

• Keep separate pANI NXX codes for PSAP use to segregating wireless (ESRKs) and VoIP (ESQK) pANI Numbering. – Agreed that separate NXXs allow caller identity by

NXX so PSAP can provide more efficient help.
