Abstract: A recovery network may provide communication recovery and backup services to an organization. The organization may comprise an internal network, such as Internet Protocol (IP) network. An alternative communication path communicatively couples communication devices of the organization to a public communication network. A recovery application operates on devices of the organization. The recovery network receives periodic availability indicators from devices within the organization. The recovery network identifies a communication endpoint of the intended recipient of a communication request using the availability indicators.

Abstract: A recovery network may provide communication recovery and backup services to a carrier having a service area. The recovery network may be configured to communicatively couple the carrier to the public communication network (PCN) using one or more alternative communication paths, such as a satellite network. The alternative communication paths may couple the recovery network to the carrier independently of the PCN. When the carrier detects a failure in its uplink to the PCN, it may failover to the recovery network, which may service the communication requests using the alternative communication path(s). Similarly, the recovery network may be used to service inbound communication requests directed to the carrier or other organization, such as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). When used with a PSAP, the recovery network may be configured to access and/or provide metadata related to inbound communication requests.

Abstract: A recovery network may provide communication recovery and backup services to an organization. The recovery network may be communicatively coupled to the existing communication infrastructure of an organization via one or more alternative communication paths. The alternative communication paths may couple the recovery network to the organization independently of a public communication network. Upon activation of recovery services, the recovery network may receive communication requests directed to the organization from the public communication network. The recovery network may service one or more of the requests using one or more of the alternative communication paths. Similarly, the recovery network may service outbound communication requests originating at the organization over an alternative communication path. Communication requests may be backed up (e.g.
