Abstract

In one embodiment, a network interface receives a communication request. A processor then verifies caller information in the communication request with a certification procedure. The processor obtains a first indicator based on the certification procedure. The first indicator includes information associated with a first certificate management procedure. The processor generates a second indicator based on the first indicator. The second indicator includes information associated with a second certificate management procedure.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a network interface is operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor communicatively coupled to the network interface receives the communication request from a first networked device over a communication link of a radio access network via a first communication protocol. The communication request comprises caller information. The processor then verifies caller information and obtains an authenticator, associated with the caller information, that indicates the communication request is authorized to be routed to a second networked device. The second networked device is configured to receive communications via a second communication protocol.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a network interface receives a communication associated with a networked device over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor determines whether the communication is an emergency communication, and a memory stores location information of the networked device associated with the emergency communication. The network interface then receives, from a requesting user, a location request, wherein the location request identifies a requested networked device. The processor determines whether the identification of the requested networked device matches an identification of the networked device. When the identification of the requested networked device matches the identification of the networked device, the network interface further operable to communicate the location information of the networked device to the requesting user.
