In an emergency, accurate and immediate communication saves lives. That’s why Beacon Telecom is proud to partner with 911Inform to offer their Location Discovery Solution (LDS)—a cutting-edge technology that ensures real-time location data is delivered to emergency dispatchers and on-site personnel when it’s needed most.
What Is LDS?
The Location Discovery Solution (LDS) by 911Inform is an integrated system that connects with your organization’s PBX phone infrastructure. When a 911 call or text is initiated, LDS transmits the caller’s precise location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), while also alerting designated personnel on-site.
End users can easily update their physical location using a mobile device or laptop—helping reduce response times and ensuring seamless compliance with federal mandates.
Ensuring Compliance with Federal Regulations
LDS helps organizations meet key legal requirements, including:
- Kari’s Law – Requires:
- Direct 911 dialing without the need for an access code
- On-site notification when a 911 call is made
- RAY BAUM’S Act – Requires:
- A dispatchable location (e.g., floor, room number) must be provided to emergency services
Beacon Telecom ensures that your implementation of LDS is fully aligned with these mandates.
How It Works
LDS registers the physical locations of devices within your organization—including phones and laptops—and securely stores them on 911Inform’s servers. When an emergency occurs:
- Location data is sent to the appropriate PSAP
- On-site personnel are notified instantly
- Real-time updates are enabled via end-user registration or subnet-based automation
This infrastructure enables a quicker, more accurate response to any emergency situation.
