A user device may detect, using a first radio associated with the user device, a presence of a location reference device; and determine a location associated with the user device. When determining the location associated with the user device, the user device is to receive location information from the location reference device, via the first, and refrain, based on detecting the presence of the location reference device, from determining the location using a second radio associated with the user device while the user device is within a communication range of the location reference device.

Power conservation on user devices having location identification hardware

A previously obtained location of a fixed wireless device is stored and available for processing of a call or the like from the device when a location determination may be desirable. In some circumstances, the previously obtained location of the fixed wireless device may be retrieved to provide information to a public-safety answering point (PSAP) during handling of an emergency call initiated by the fixed wireless device over a wireless network.

Enhanced 911 for fixed wireless

A computing device is configured to receive an analog alarm signal from an alarm receiving device; convert the analog alarm signal into a packet-based message having information equivalent information as the analog alarm signal; and provide the packet-based message to a server device associated with an alarm monitoring station. The packet-based message may contain information that is used to identify the alarm signal or used to respond to the alarm signal.

Alarm signal conversion for transmission over packet-based networks

A system and method of seizing a landline is disclosed. In seizing the landline, a first device may identify that a switch has been toggled by a second device; receive an alarm signal from the second device via a landline based on identifying that the switch has been toggled; determine a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal; and execute the particular processing instruction to provide the alarm signal to a third device.
