Regulatory obligations 

However, there are some constraints related to offering this service: 

  • A Carrier is losing localization of the device while using VoWi-Fi service; therefore, it is necessary to provide the emergency address of a subscriber manually before enabling VoWiFi 

  • Receiving acceptance of the Terms & Conditions by the subscriber 

 

The above requirements are regulatory obligations in North American countries. First of all, the subscribers must store the emergency address in the Location Data Retrieval Database (LDR) that is contacted by the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in case a 911 emergency number is dialled for emergency centres fielding police, fire or ambulance calls.  

 

The Fine Print 

Additionally, the subscriber has to accept the Terms & Conditions related to usage of the new service. The VoWiFi service can be launched once the subscriber gives full consent. 

An Entitlement Server offers flexibility with the definition of which devices are eligible for VoWi-Fi service and setting up the roles for each country related to capturing emergency addresses and accepting T&Cs.
