LSS/LMAG August Meeting: Use of Telco Signaling Network Data for Emergency Services and More
Monthly meeting of the Lone Star Section / Life Members Affinity Group meet on the third Thursday of most months at the La Fonda Restaurant, 8633 Crownhill Blvd, in San Antonio. Lunch costs $10.00. (We pay the balance and tip.)
This month, we are honored to hear from Mr. Leo A. Wrobel, who will be telling us of his pioneering work in emergency telecommunications. About 30 years ago, phone companies were deploying Signaling System 7 (SS-7) to set up calls faster and manage their networks more efficiently. In spite of other advanced technologies, especially on the Internet, SS7 has been static - until now.

Use of Telco Signaling Network Data for Emergency Services - and More
Leo A. Wrobel is the inventor of TeleSentient (tm) (US patent 10,812,663) His invention combines Signaling System 7 (SS7) and other signaling network data with outside sources to provide greater visibility to emergency service providers. Blocked 911 calls and other bottlenecks occur for many reasons, ranging from severe weather events to technical failures, to simply dozens of people calling at once because they saw the same freeway accident. With TeleSentient, real time calling patterns of people in trouble are available to 911 centers and other emergency responders.
As one example, picture a National Weather Service radar map showing the "hook signature" of a severe thunderstorm and possible tornado. Now picture the same NWS map with red dots indicating the name and location pf each person calling 911, right at this moment - inluding the callers who are not getting through.This is only one of many applications to be discussed in this lively and informative presentation.
