  • Publication number: 20230403282
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network service ordering and provisioning of secure access service edge (“SASE”) software packages. In various embodiments, a computing system may provide a user experience (“UX”) platform for a customer portal, the UX platform being accessible by a user via a user device over a first network(s); may provide, via the UX platform, options to configure, via the customer portal, one or more SASE-based network services among a plurality of network services provided by a service provider; and may autonomously orchestrate deployment and configuration of the one or more SASE-based network services via one or more customer premises equipment (“CPE”) that are associated with the user or to an entity with which the user is associated, over a second network(s), based at least in part on user selection of at least one option to configure the one or more SASE-based network services.

  • Patent number: 10819856
    Abstract: Methods for handling traffic between a first network including a virtual communication platform and a second network, such as a circuit-switched network, include inserting customer identifiers into data packets. For traffic sent to the second network, the packets with the identifiers are transmitted to a trunking service that uses the identifier to determine one or more applicable service attributes for handling the data contained within the packets. For data traffic received from the second network, the virtual communication platform uses the identifiers to determine a destination, such as an endpoint device, for the traffic within the first network.

  • Patent number: 10749824
    Abstract: A VoIP 911 application is accessible to VoIP callers in the form of a portal and/or at least one API executed by one or more of a plurality of computing systems to retrieve a physical location of a VoIP user utilizing a VoIP number. A known postal address is generated from the physical location. The postal address is processed using a GIS system to determine if the postal address is a valid actual address. The postal address is processed using geocoding, and an updated MSAG address associated with the location of the VoIP user is generated. The VoIP 911 application may comprise an instant messaging application. The IM application is installed to and/or integrated with existing software packages. A VoIP user may update emergency information by submitting a current physical location of the VoIP user via an IM chat window. The physical location submitted is validated and confirmed.
