Hey folks.
For the most part I can ignore Kari's law as we don't have the same law in Canada (yet). However, we do have a couple of sites down in the States that we'll need to make check with.
Site A is an IPO 500v2 that we simply "do the needful" and set up direct 9-1-1 dialing (if not already in place) and email when dialed.
Site B is where my question comes into play. One of our sites out in Western Canada has a small office in upstate New York. They don't have their own system, just IP phones connected via site-to-site VPN back to the IPO out west. Has anyone considered what the legalities are of an office without a local control unit and no access to local trunking for routing emergency calls to the required centre?
As a follow up, what about a Site C, which is the winter residence of the Owner of a Canadian company that only has a single 9611 using the built-in VPN client to connect back to his company's phone system 2000 KM north? Does Kari's Law even apply to phones within a private residence?
Thanks in advance.
