The term 'emergency 9-1-1 system' also includes 'enhanced 9-1-1 service,' which.'

(5.1) 'Enhanced 9-1-1 service' means an emergency system that provides the user with emergency 9-1-1 system service and, in addition, directs 9-1-1 calls and may, as an adjunct to such service, direct non-emergency calls which relate to public safety agencies, to appropriate public safety answering points by selective routing based on the geographical location from which the call originated and provides the capability for automatic number identification and automatic location identification features."
