Abstract: An elevator car position determining system includes a tag mounted to an elevator car, the elevator car configured to travel in a hoistway; at least one anchor mounted in the hoistway; a gateway in communication with the tag; wherein the tag is configured to send a poll signal; wherein the at least one anchor is configured to generate a reply signal in response to the poll signal; wherein the tag is configured to determine a position of the elevator car in the hoistway in response to a time of flight of the poll signal to the at least one anchor and a time of flight of the reply signal to the tag.

Abstract: A previously obtained location of a fixed wireless device is stored and available for processing of a call or the like from the device when a location determination may be desirable. In some circumstances, the previously obtained location of the fixed wireless device may be retrieved to provide information to a public-safety answering point (PSAP) during handling of an emergency call initiated by the fixed wireless device over a wireless network.

Abstract: A computing device is configured to receive an analog alarm signal from an alarm receiving device; convert the analog alarm signal into a packet-based message having information equivalent information as the analog alarm signal; and provide the packet-based message to a server device associated with an alarm monitoring station. The packet-based message may contain information that is used to identify the alarm signal or used to respond to the alarm signal.

Abstract: A system and method of seizing a landline is disclosed. In seizing the landline, a first device may identify that a switch has been toggled by a second device; receive an alarm signal from the second device via a landline based on identifying that the switch has been toggled; determine a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal; and execute the particular processing instruction to provide the alarm signal to a third device.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to enable service on a wireless network for a user device. The user device may be associated with a wired network. The device may request network provisioning information, associated with the wired network, identifying service activation parameters. The device may provision the wireless network based on the request for network provisioning associated with the wired network. The device may synchronize caller information to a first caller information device, associated with the wireless network, from a second caller information device, associated with the wired network. The caller information may include caller identification information. The device may enable the service for the user device on the wireless network based on provisioning the wireless network and synchronizing the caller information to the first caller information device from the second caller information device.
