Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing 911 or enhanced 911 ('E911') address update. In various embodiments, in response to a trigger event, a computing system may determine whether E911 address data associated with a customer that is stored in an E911 database requires updating. If so, the computing system may update the E911 database with address data associated with the customer that has been validated or verified (if available). Where no validated or verified address associated with the customer is available, the computing system may send a message to the customer to provide updated 911 or E911 address data; may receive, from a user device associated with the customer via an API over a network(s) operated by the service provider, updated 911 or E911 address data from the customer; and may update the E911 database with the received updated 911 or E911 address data from the customer.

911 address update

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing application programming interface ('API')-based concurrent call path (“CCP”) provisioning. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a CCP provisioning request, a computing system may determine whether such a request would affect a set of trunk groups assigned to a customer based at least in part on network utilization data. If not, the computing system may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of CCPs in at least one trunk group assigned to the customer based on the CCP provisioning request. If so, the computing system may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of trunk groups assigned to the customer and may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of CCPs in the updated number of trunk groups.

Application programming interface (API)-based concurrent call path (CCP) provisioning

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing programmatical public switched telephone network ('PSTN') trunking for cloud hosted applications. In various embodiments, a computing system may determine one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with a first entity service provider within a call service network operated by a call network service provider. Based on the determined one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with the first entity service provider, the computing system may cause a network provisioning application layer to establish one or more network interconnections between a first network associated with the first entity service provider and the call service network, in some cases, by establishing shared peering connections between the first network and the call service network. The shared peering connections may enable a plurality of customers of the first entity service provider to establish call service connections that are shared over the shared peering connections.
