Rotating media channels between resources of an emergency services network and conforming emergency systems
First Claim
1. A communication network for rotating media channels between resources of an emergency services network and conforming emergency systems, the communication network comprising:
- a conforming emergency system (CES) connected to a transport network; and
a plurality of resources of an emergency services network connected to the transport network, wherein the CES and one of the resources dynamically establish a first media channel between one another over the transport network, and exchange messages over the first media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events;
responsive to a triggering event, the CES and one of the resources dynamically establish a second media channel between one another over the transport network, and exchange messages over the second media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events.

Abstract
The invention includes a communication network for rotating media channels between resources of an emergency services network and a conforming emergency system (CES). A conforming emergency system and one of the resources of the emergency services network dynamically establish a first media channel between one another over a transport network. With the first media channel established, the conforming emergency system and the resource exchange messages over the first media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events. Responsive to a triggering event, the CES and one of the resources (the same or another resource) dynamically establish a second media channel between one another over the transport network. With the second media channel established, the conforming emergency system and the resource exchange messages over the second media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events. The first media channel may be torn down.

71. A conforming emergency system (CES) that rotates media channels with resources of an emergency services network, the CES comprising:
-
a channel system that dynamically establishes a first media channel with one of the resources of the emergency services network; and
a message system, responsive to the first media channel being established, that exchanges messages over the first media channel with the one resource for the first media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events;
the channel system, responsive to a triggering event, dynamically establishes a second media channel with one of the resources of the emergency services network;
the message system, responsive to the second media channel being established, exchanges messages over the second media channel with the one resource for the second media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events. - View Dependent Claims (72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84)
