  • Patent number: 11985500
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface is operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor communicatively coupled to the network interface receives the communication request from a first networked device over a communication link of a radio access network via a first communication protocol. The communication request comprises caller information. The processor then verifies caller information and obtains an authenticator, associated with the caller information, that indicates the communication request is authorized to be routed to a second networked device. The second networked device is configured to receive communications via a second communication protocol.

  • Patent number: 11044356
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor determines one or more characteristics based on the communication request and communicates a message to a networked device to determine a status of the network device identified based on at least one of the characteristics. The processor then terminates the communication request based in part on the status of the networked device.

  • Patent number: 10271270
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface operable to receive, from a requesting user, a request for routing information of a requested device. A processor determines location information associated with the requested device, and generates a temporary networked device identifier associated with a networked device identifier of the requested device and temporary location information associated with the location information. The network interface then communicates the temporary networked device identifier and temporary location information to the requesting user.

  • Patent number: 9942767
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface receives a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor then determines one or more characteristics associated with the communication request and applies one or more policy rules to the one or more determined characteristics associated with the communication request. The processor terminates the communication request based in part on the application of the one or more policy rules to the one or more determined characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9756495
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface receives a communication associated with a networked device over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor determines whether the communication is an emergency communication, and a memory stores location information of the networked device associated with the emergency communication. The network interface then receives, from a requesting user, a location request, wherein the location request identifies a requested networked device. The processor determines whether the identification of the requested networked device matches an identification of the networked device. When the identification of the requested networked device matches the identification of the networked device, the network interface further operable to communicate the location information of the networked device to the requesting user.

  • Patent number: 8521191
    Abstract: A system for determining a location for a mobile communication device includes a plurality of taps, a multiplexer, and a link aggregator. Each tap includes a pair of connectors that couple to a communication link of a radio access network inline and pass between them a signal received over the communication link. Each tap also includes a multiplexer connector that couples to a multiplexer and a cable connecting the multiplexer connector to the inline connectors. The tap replicates signals passing between the inline connectors and propagates the replicated signals to the multiplexer connector. The multiplexer receives, from each tap, signals replicated by that tap, extracts location data from the received signals, and transmits the location data to a link aggregator. The link aggregator receives the location data from the multiplexer and determines a location for one of the mobile devices based on the received location data.
