Emergency calling from contact center agent desktops

Verified 2026-10-02 · 60 sources · tier 1–2

Also known as agent-softphone-911, remote-agent-e911.

Under 47 CFR 9.16, anyone installing, managing or operating a multi-line telephone system (MLTS) in the United States must configure it to meet three duties: users can dial 911 directly, a notification is sent when they do, and the call carries dispatchable location 7 11 6. Each contact center platform documents its own agent-side mechanism: Cisco provides E911 for Webex Contact Center WebRTC Agent Desktop users through RedSky, Amazon Connect enables 911 by default for all users in specific US Regions, and Genesys states that Genesys Cloud Voice supports RAY BAUM'S Act for orgs in specific regions 57 15 39.

US regulatory baseline

47 CFR 9.3 defines a multi-line telephone system to include the following 3:

network-based and premises-based systems such as Centrex and VoIP 3
PBX, hybrid and key telephone systems 3

The same section defines the person engaged in the business of managing an MLTS as the entity that controls and oversees the MLTS after installation, including line distribution, telephone number assignment and network configuration 4. It defines on-premises as within the fixed property, such as buildings, facilities or campus, and under the operational control of a single administrative authority 5. Dispatchable location is defined there as the validated street address of the calling party plus details such as suite or apartment needed to identify the caller's location, delivered to the PSAP with the 911 call 2. See also Dispatchable location and nomadic user handling.

Direct dialing. Under 47 CFR 9.16(a)(1), an MLTS may not be manufactured, imported, sold or leased for use in the United States unless it is pre-configured so that, when properly installed, a user can dial 911 directly without any prefix 8. Under 47 CFR 9.16(b)(1), whoever installs, manages or operates the MLTS must configure it so a user can start a 911 call from any station with no additional digit, code, prefix or post-fix, including a trunk-access code such as 9 7.

Notification. Notification of a 911 call must start at the same time as the call where technically feasible and must not delay the call 10. The notification must go to a location where someone is likely to see or hear it 11.

Dispatchable location by device type. The deadlines and fallbacks differ by device type: 6 9 12

On-premises fixed telephones had to provide automated dispatchable location no later than January 6, 2021 6.
On-premises non-fixed devices, from January 6, 2022, must provide automated dispatchable location when technically feasible 9. Otherwise they must provide dispatchable location based on a manual update by the end user or on alternative location information 9.
Off-premises devices, from January 6, 2022, must provide automatic dispatchable location if technically feasible 12. Otherwise they must provide dispatchable location based on a manual update by the end user, or enhanced location information, which may be coordinate-based 12.

Webex Contact Center

Cisco provides E911 for Webex Contact Center agents and supervisors who use the WebRTC-enabled Agent Desktop, with RedSky as the third-party emergency service provider 57. Cisco lists 3 requirements for WebRTC agent emergency calling under Kari's Law and RAY BAUM'S Act 52:

direct 911 dialing without extra codes 52
notification of designated personnel 52
conveying location, including floor or room, to responders 52

For Webex Contact Center organizations using Bundled PSTN services provided by Cisco, RedSky is mandatory for managing emergency calls 49.

Agent setup works as follows: 53 54

The agent installs the RedSky MyE911 application on their machine 53.
During setup, the agent enters https://wxc.e911cloud.com as the RedSky Cirrus Cloud Host 53.
The agent then verifies their email with a code 54.
If MyE911 cannot determine the location, the RedSky location page opens so the agent can enter and verify their current location 54.

Amazon Connect

In Amazon Connect, 911 is enabled by default for all users in the US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions, and a 911 call is routed to emergency services 15. Amazon Connect supports only direct calls from the agent CCP to 911 18. It does not support transferring a call to 911 or dialing 911 while already on a call 18.

Capturing the agent's address. E911 setup validates the agent's physical address with the Amazon Chime SDK ValidateE911Address API 27. The validated address is stored in Customer Profiles, using CreateProfile the first time and UpdateProfile afterwards 25. AWS recommends storing the agent's usual address at setup and prompting the agent to update it at the start of each shift, so the most recently validated address goes with an emergency call 24.

Relaying the address on the call. Amazon Connect E911 uses an outbound whisper flow that does the following 28:

Checks whether the agent dialed 911 (or 933) 28.
Calls a Lambda function that looks up the agent's address with SearchProfiles 28.
Sets the address as a contact attribute 28.
Continues the call 28.

The address must be passed as a JSON string under the contact attribute key CivicAddress, using coded keys such as country, A1, A3, HNO, RD, STS and PC 17. An optional LOC key carries additional location information such as a room 21. LOC is limited to 60 characters, and 20 or fewer are recommended 21.

AWS states that it is the customer's responsibility to validate the E911 address against a standard repository such as the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) 22. For an Amazon Connect 911 call, the origination number must be a valid US number 26. If the agent's number is invalid, Connect falls back to the caller ID of the queue in the agent's routing profile 26.

Notification and testing. To notify security or HR when an agent calls 911, AWS documents adding a Create task block with custom notification logic to the outbound whisper flow, between Set contact attributes and Call phone number 23. For testing, Amazon Connect provides 933 16. A CCP call to 933 plays back the originating number and the physical address sent with the call 16.

Genesys Cloud

Genesys states that Genesys Cloud Voice supports RAY BAUM'S Act in the United States and Canada for orgs in the US-East-1, US-East-2, US-West-2 and CA-Central-1 regions 39.

Remote emergency address. The following prerequisites apply 41:

the site must be configured for emergency services 41
each agent must have an individual DID, because shared numbers and extensions are not supported 41

Which address is used. In the US and Canada, Genesys Cloud Voice picks the emergency address in this order 33:

first, the user's remote address 33
next, the ELIN assignment 33
next, the site of the user's phone or standalone phone 33
next, the default site for IVR numbers 33
last, the default site for unassigned numbers 33

Emergency calls dialed from the Genesys Communicate mobile app go through the mobile device's native carrier, not Genesys VoIP services 35.

Dialing. Genesys instructs US administrators configuring the Emergency number plan not to alter the 911 number with a prefix or other modification, for Kari's Law compliance 32.

Kari's Law notifications. Genesys Cloud Voice Kari's Law 911 notifications are not configured in the admin UI 38. Instead, the customer sends completed CSV templates with the org ID, location address and location IDs to genesyscloudvoice-na@genesys.com 38. Each location can have up to 100 notification addresses, as email addresses or as AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon email-to-SMS addresses 36. Kari's Law notification is US-only: Canadian addresses are not supported for notifications, and SMS notifications work only for US addresses 37.

BYOC. Genesys states that it is not responsible for emergency services if emergency calls are routed to BYOC trunks 30. The customer must tell the BYOC carrier the physical location where its numbers are used 30. Emergency services information set up for Genesys Cloud Voice is not passed to a BYOC Cloud carrier when a customer moves to BYOC 29.

Power and Internet failure. Genesys says Genesys Cloud Voice emergency service can fail during a power outage or Internet failure 42. Customers must put warning labels on all equipment that connects to the service 42.

Applicability
