Bell Canada announces the introduction of the transmission of an
additional field between Local Service Providers (LSPs) and Bell Canada’s 9-1-1 PERS
for the purpose of providing 9-1-1 service to the LSPs end customers. This additional
field is required due to the 416 NPA overlay (previously Disclosed in Bell Industry
Advisory BIA-3j), and is expected to become effective December 1, 2000.
Interconnection is via dedicated trunk side connections to Bell Canada’s Voice
Network to facilitate transport of 9-1-1 calls from the LSPs end customers through Bell
Canada’s voice network to the appropriate 9-1-1 Service Bureau, as well as via data
connections to allow the updating of Bell Canada’s 9-1-1 PERS Data System with the
pertinent LSP end customers’ calling number and location information.
Compatibility Impact:
The additional field must be included in order for the customer record information file
to be accepted by the 9-1-1 PERS system.
Documentation:
This interface was previously disclosed in Bell Interface Document BID-0024, dated
September 1997. The revised interface is described in Bell Interface Document
BID-0024, dated May 2000. An electronic version of Bell
Interface Document BID-0024 is available for $50 each. A hard copy of the BID is also
available for $65 each. Previous purchasers of BID-0024 may purchase the updated
electronic versions of the BID for $15 and for a hard copy the price is $20. Please note
that the prices are subject to change without notice.
