Abstract: Systems and methods for location-aware scanning of an IoT beacon by a mobile device, and the authentication of the mobile device, are disclosed herein. The system detects when the mobile device is within a geofenced region associated with the IoT beacon and enables the scanning by the mobile device for signals from the beacon. Using the beacon signals received by the mobile device, the system detects when the mobile device and IoT beacon are sufficiently near one another. Once the mobile device and IoT beacon are sufficiently near each other, the system authenticates control of the mobile device over the IoT beacon by verifying an authentication key transmitted to a server.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a health engine that monitors and modifies customer-premises equipment (CPE) devices. The health engine can detect patterns in CPE device behavior, identify problems with CPE devices, and adjust CPE device configurations proactively or reactively to address problems or prevent problems. In some implementations, the health engine can instruct a CPE device or gateway to restart, update its software or firmware, notify a user of the CPE device of an unhealthy behavior pattern in a CPE device. The health engine can modify a CPE device prior to a user using the device or when the CPE device is inactive.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing E911 services to a publicly-switched telephone network (PSTN) phone are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods determine that the PSTN phone is connected to a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) adapter, identify an internet protocol (IP) address for an access point via which the adapter accesses an IP Multimedia System (IMS) network, determine a geographical location associated with the IP address, and enable E911 communications for the PSTN phone over the IMS network via the adapter based on the geographical location.

Abstract: A method of multi-factor authentication is performed by an access control device. In response to detecting a voice command, the access control device sends a query to a location server for a current location of a user equipment (UE) included in a list of trusted UEs. The access control device may then receive an indication of the current location from the location server and in response thereto, the access control device may determine whether the current location of the UE is within a threshold distance of the access control device. If so, the access control device may generate an access signal that indicates that a user associated with the UE is authorized to access a protected resource.

Abstract: A method of multi-factor authentication is performed by an access control device. In response to detecting a beacon signal transmitted by a user equipment (UE) via a short-range radio access technology (RAT) the access control device sends a query to a location server for a current location of the UE. The access control device then determines whether the UE is within a threshold distance of the access control device and, if so, begins monitoring a signal strength of one or more beacon signals transmitted by the UE. If the signal strength of the one or more beacon signals exceeds a signal strength threshold, then the access control device may generate an access signal to indicate that a user associated with the UE is authorized to access a protected resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adapting traditional landline telephones to make and receive Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls and other communications are described. In some embodiments, an adapter, adaptor, or other device or apparatus connects an IP router, such as a WiFi router or other access point, to a traditional landline telephone (e.g., a phone using dual-tone multi-frequency, or DTMF, signaling), enabling the traditional landline phone to make and/or receive VoIP calls.

Abstract: A method of controlling user access to a protected area is performed by an access control device. In response to detecting a beacon signal transmitted by a user equipment (UE) via a short-range radio access technology (RAT) the access control device determines whether the UE is within the protected area or in an exterior area that is outside the protected area. In some aspects, the access control device determines whether the UE is within the protected area or in the exterior area based on the received beacon signal. In response to determining that the UE is in the exterior area, the access control device performs a multi-factor authentication procedure. If the access control device determines that the UE is within the protected area, the access control device is configured to deny access to the protected area.
