§ 9.18 Emergency Call Center service.
(a) Providers of Mobile-Satellite Service to end-user customers (47 CFR
part 25, subparts A through D) must provide Emergency Call Center
service to the extent that they offer real-time, two way switched voice
service that is interconnected with the public switched network and use
an in-network switching facility which enables the provider to reuse
frequencies and/or accomplish seamless hand-offs of subscriber calls.
Emergency Call Center personnel must determine the emergency caller's
phone number and location and then transfer or otherwise redirect the
call to an appropriate public safety answering point. Providers of
Mobile-Satellite Services that use earth terminals that are not capable
of use while in motion are exempt from providing Emergency Call Center
service for such terminals.
(b) Each Mobile-Satellite Service carrier that is subject to the
provisions of paragraph (a) of this section must maintain records of
all 911 calls received at its emergency call center. By October 15, of
each year, Mobile-Satellite Service carriers providing service in the
1.6/2.4 GHz and 2 GHz bands must submit a report to the Commission
regarding their call center data, current as of September 30 of that
year. By June 30, of each year, Mobile-Satellite Service carriers
providing service in bands other than 1.6/2.4 GHz and 2 GHz must submit
a report to the Commission regarding their call center data, current as
of May 31 of that year. These reports must include, at a minimum, the
following:
(1) The name and address of the carrier, the address of the carrier's
emergency call center, and emergency call center contact information;
(2) The aggregate number of calls received by the call center each
month during the relevant reporting period;
(3) An indication of how many calls received by the call center each
month during the relevant reporting period required forwarding to a
public safety answering point and how many did not require forwarding
to a public safety answering point.
