Gary Bauer Users have to be set to one of these locations that you have set in Skype for Business Admin Center in order for the location to be sent along to the PSAP... the location is sent along as metadata with the SIP info (PSAP consumes the location info and routes to an appropriate local dispatcher).

At least that's my understanding of how it works.
