1. A method of utilizing emergency procedures to determine location information, comprising:
- operating a wireless access gateway to couple a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) in a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network to a broadband access gateway in a Voice Over Internet Protocol Network;
finding a port within the Voice Over Internet Protocol Network that receives packets from a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) device coupled to the MSC by the wireless access gateway;
performing a wiremap location determination based on the found port to determine location information of the VOIP device in the Voice Over Internet Protocol Network;
storing, by the wireless access gateway, the location information;
receiving, by the wireless access gateway, a request for a location of the VOIP device from the MSC in said Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network;
translating, by the wireless access gateway, the stored location information into a format used by the MSC in said Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network to receive location information for a Radio Access Network (RAN); and
providing, by the wireless access gateway, the translated location information to the MSC.

Abstract
Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products for utilizing emergency procedures to determine location information for a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) device. A wireless access gateway (WAG) determines location information of the VOIP device and stores the location information. A request for a location of the VOIP device from a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is received by the WAG. The WAG translates the stored location information into a format used by the MSC to receive location information from a Radio Access Network (RAN). The WAG provides the translated location information to the MSC.

16. A computer-implemented system for utilizing emergency procedures to determine location information comprising:
-
a wireless access gateway coupling a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) in a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network to a broadband access gateway in a Voice Over Internet Protocol Network (VOIP); said wireless access gateway finding a port within the Voice Over Internet Protocol Network that receives packets from a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) device in the Voice Over Internet Protocol Network; said wireless access gateway performing a wiremap location determination based on the found port to determine location information of the VOIP device in the Voice Over Internet Protocol Network; means for storing, by the wireless access gateway, the location information; means for receiving, by the wireless access gateway, a request for a location of the VOIP device from the MSC in said Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network; means for translating, by the wireless access gateway, the stored location information into a format used by the MSC in said Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network to receive location information for a Radio Access Network (RAN); and means for providing, by the wireless access gateway, the translated location information to the MSC.
