Abstract
Techniques are described for obtaining current location data for a non-traditional telephony endpoint for emergency calling purposes. An emergency services (ES) provider receives, from a telephony server responding to a telecommunication session establishment request from a telephony endpoint, a location registration request, the location registration request including telephony endpoint identification information. The ES provider may push a quick response (QR) code to the telephony endpoint, the QR code when scanned by a mobile device causes the mobile device to retrieve its current location data. The ES provider may then receive the current location data from the mobile device and store it and the telephony endpoint identification information for subsequent use should a 911 call be made from that telephony endpoint. The ES provider may then send the telephony server an authorization acknowledgement for the telecommunication session establishment request.
