1. A system for routing emergency data messages to public safety answering points, said system comprising:
- a memory;
an input/output (I/O) unit;
a processing unit in communication with said memory and I/O unit, and configured to;
receive an emergency data message and cell code identifier indicative of a location of a wireless communications device of a user;
identify PSAPs local to the user and configured to receive emergency data messages;
determine distribution of previous emergency data messages to the identified PSAPs;
based on the distribution of previous emergency data messages to the identified PSAPs, select one of the identified PSAPs to route the emergency data message; and
route the emergency data message to the selected PSAP.

Abstract
A system and method for routing emergency data messages to public safety answering points may include identifying PSAPs local to the user and configured to receive emergency data messages. A determination of distribution of previous emergency data messages to the identified PSAPs may be performed. Based on the distribution of previous emergency data messages to the identified PSAPs, one of the identified PSAPs may be selected and the emergency data message may be routed thereto.
