Abstract:
A text messaging caller is enabled to communicate with a called party situated at on voice network, such as a PSTN or emergency 911 service center. The method comprises providing a service center, pre-registering a caller with the service center, receiving a text message from the caller through the service center, converting the text message to a voice message, ascertaining the address of the caller according to pre-registration information, and sending the voice message to the called party on the voice network together with the caller's identification and location information.
Abstract:
An i3 proxy module is provided within a 911 service provider network (e.g., at the VoIP positioning center) to respond to a VoIP i2 SIP INVITE destined for a PSAP having i3 architecture. The i3 proxy module responds to the VoIP i2 SIP INVITE by generating a VoIP i3 SIP INVITE with PIDF-LO and routing the same to the i3 emergency services routing proxy (ESRP) within the i3 network. Thus, an i3 SIP INVITE with PIDF-LO is sent from an i3 proxy module associated with an i2-based VoIP positioning center (VPC). Thus, legacy originating service provider (OSP) carrier networks are now enabled to route an emergency call to a PSAP having an i3 ESInet architecture.

Abstract:
Automatic Location Information (ALI) data that is representative of a landline address is digitally retrieved, and automatically transferred to an emergency call taker over a wireless system emergency network. Importantly, the ALI information is determined based on association to a proximate location. Before an emergency call is initiated, additional environmental information, such as a RFID tag, location beacon, WiFi access point, Bluetooth device, or other communication signal with a known location, is included in the wireless session data exchange, used to match one or more location inputs to a fixed civic location (street address) which is used to dispatch emergency responders. Alternatively, the mechanism matches to a precise geodetic location (e.g., where no civic location is available).
