Using PIDF-LO in emergency calls

Using PIDF-LO in emergency calls - Amazon Chime SDK

Amazon Chime SDK Voice Connectors support enhanced 911 (E911) calling. When you place emergency calls through a Voice Connector, you can send caller location information by including a GEOPRIV Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) in your SIP requests. The object must include the Geolocation-Routing header, set to Yes. We strongly recommend validating the address. If you don't use addresses or routing numbers, address validation may be carried out at the start of a 911 call to ensure it is routed to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), meaning help may take longer to arrive.

The following example shows a SIP invite with a PIDF-LO object that includes an address.
