XO Communications announces a new referral agreement with VIXXI Solutions in which XO will refer current and future XO VoIP customers to VIXXI as an E911 provider. VIXXI was chosen because their IP-based, geospatial technology is ideal for VoIP vendors who are required by the FCC to provide their customers with an E911 Solution that identifies caller location information and correctly routes emergency calls to the appropriate PSAP.

XO considered several critical factors when establishing this relationship for an E911 provider, including speed of deployment, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, scalability, and compliance. VIXXI uses the technology of the Internet and geospatial routing to turn-up customers instantaneously, improving speed-to-revenue, and to provide competitive per-user pricing. Also, the VIXXI web portal supports real-time location updates of nomadic VoIP users, and location detail can be tied to any data element; it does not need to be tied to a telephone number. VIXXI makes dynamic updates to PSAP boundary changes for accurate call-routing. The architecture is scalable, supporting feature and functionality growth on a single platform. The entire US and Canada are covered and the solution meets FCC standards and is i3-ready.
