  • Patent number: 11463860
    Abstract: An emergency location information service (E-LIS) for network devices connected to proxy network devices. The proxy network devices are both analog and digital network devices. The proxy network devices send unique identification information for the network device connected to it and request either a location-by-reference (indirect location information) component or location-by-reference (direct location information) component to identify the network device for when an emergency event occurs.

  • Patent number: 10856127
    Abstract: An emergency location information service (E-LIS) for water-based network devices. The E-LIS includes a server application and server network devices that accepts emergency messages from water-based network devices. The water based network devices comprise one or more sensors or one or more actuators, a wireless connection interface including a wireless low power wide-area ultra-narrowband network interface and a wireless low earth orbit satellite network connection interface and is an automated network device capable of sensing is own environment and automatically sending out the one or more emergency messages or one or more emergency text messages without operator input to an E-LIS server network device when an emergency event occurs on a body of water. The E-LIS server network device provides a current physical geographic location for such water-based network devices and/or users of the water-based network devices in an emergency situation on the body of water such as a river, lake, sea, ocean, etc.

  • Patent number: 8442481
    Abstract: The emergency location information gateway provides Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) with the capability to receive NG911-compliant (i.e., Session Initiation Protocol (SIP-based) and/or SIP-Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)) and other types emergency calls including embedded emergency location information and determine a physical location of a mobile or non-mobile target network device based on the embedded emergency location information. Conversely, a legacy network gateway (LGN) enables the conversion of traditional 911, and E911 calls into NG911 calls for transport and dissemination by so-called Emergency Services IP networks, or ESInets.
