Methods, systems and computer program products for providing a E911 network
First Claim
1. A method for providing a E911 network, said method comprising:
- assigning public safety answering points (PSAPs) to ports located in a network, wherein each said port is associated with a calling party number (CPN) and a geographic location;
identifying an incoming emergency call from an IP device, said IP device corresponding to a unique code address and said incoming emergency call including an incoming CPN;
determining which said port is an entry port associated with said IP device, wherein input to said determining includes said unique code address and said incoming CPN;
connecting said incoming emergency call to one of said PSAPs corresponding to said entry port;
transmitting said CPN and said geographic location data to one of said PSAPs corresponding to said entry port; and
remapping a physical location and address to said IP device and said entry port, in response to said IP device moving.

Abstract
A method for providing a E911 edge network. The method includes assigning public safety answering points (PSAPs) to ports located in a network, where each of the ports is associated with a calling party number (CPN) and a geographic location. The method also includes identifying an incoming emergency call from an IP device. The IP device corresponds to a unique code address and the incoming emergency call includes an incoming CPN. The entry port associated with the IP device is determined based on the unique code address and the incoming CPN. The incoming emergency call is connected to the PSAP corresponding to the entry port. The CPN and the geographic location data are transmitted to the PSAP corresponding to the entry port.
