ABSTRACT:
The system for auxiliary monitoring of emergency access calls functions to identify the geographical location of the origination point of the emergency access call and interconnects the appropriate emergency response agency that serves this geographic location to the emergency access call. The emergency access system is programmed to divide the covered region into a plurality of cells, with each cell defining a serving emergency agency and/or serving auxiliary emergency agency. Upon receipt of an incoming emergency call from a telephone station, the switching system determines the location from which the emergency access call originated, and which cell(s) define the serving emergency agency for this location. The system directs the incoming call to the designated emergency service agency as well as any serving auxiliary emergency agency that would be involved in the emergency response to the incoming emergency call. The identified serving auxiliary emergency agency would then be alerted in one of a number of possible ways: simple alert alarm without further data, listen-only bridging on to the incoming emergency call, two-way voice connection on incoming emergency call. The selected mode of alert enables the serving auxiliary emergency agency to either prepare to enable access to the appropriate emergency response agencies and/or actively participate in the response.
