What is the purpose of the pANI delivered to the PSAP?

The purpose of the provided pANI, or pseudo Automatic Number Identification, delivered to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is to include critical information such as the cell/sector location of the caller and the callback number within the voice call. This information is essential for emergency responders as it allows them to quickly and accurately identify the location from which the call is originating, especially in situations where the caller may not be able to communicate their location clearly, such as during a medical emergency or a crime in progress.

The pANI acts as a crucial facilitator in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of emergency response efforts. By ensuring that responders have access to the caller’s location and a callback number, the PSAP can coordinate a timely response, ensuring that assistance is dispatched correctly and quickly.

Other options propose different functionalities that do not accurately reflect the role of pANI. While recording calls or filtering unwanted calls are valid functions in their respective contexts, they do not pertain to the specific purpose of pANI in emergency communications. The focus of pANI is primarily on providing necessary identification and location information to assist emergency services effectively.
