Which system allows communication centers to receive location and number information on emergency calls utilizing the 911 network?

• A. ANI and ALI
• B. FIN
• C. Telematics
• D. Florida Relay System

Answer: (A)

Automatic Number Identification and Automatic Location Identification provide the call taker with who is calling and where they are. ANI captures the caller’s phone number, and ALI looks up that number to display the caller’s address or estimated location on the screen. This pairing is what lets a 911 center see both the location and the number for emergency calls, so responders can be dispatched quickly and accurately. The other choices don’t serve this standard role: the Florida Relay System is a relay service for hearing-impaired users, telematics refers to vehicle-based data (not the universal 911 location/number feed), and FIN isn’t the system used to supply location and number information to PSAPs.
