Private Switch Automatic Location Identification is an E911 solution for Multi-Line Telephone Systems. Generally, when a 911 call is made through a PBX, only the enterprise’s main address is sent to the PSAP. For organizations spread across a large building or campus environment, it can be very difficult for emergency responders to find the distressed caller based on the main address.

PS-ALI is an add-on service to TDM Voice and Dynamic IP products which allows customers to include station level address detail with specific TNs or all TNs. PS-ALI enables customers to be in compliance with the RAY BAUM’S Act requirement for Dispatchable Location information.

OfficeSuite has PS-ALI functionality built into the product at no additional charge.

UCaaS/CCaaS* long term will have PS-ALI functionality built into the product at no additional charge if the customer is also using Windstream’s Voice service, i.e. Dynamic IP.

  • IT work is underway to make PS-ALI automatically included with UCaaS/CCaaS + DYIP quotes and orders. Until completed, Sales should manually add the PS-ALI service and zero out the charges.

While PS-ALI is an available service for both RVC (CLEC) and CAMS (ILEC) customers, customers, there are some major differences between the two which are explained in the following sub-sections.
