Device, system, and process for providing emergency calling service for a wireless device using voice over data

A system implementing a voice over data network configured to provide emergency telephone call solutions to a wireless handset device, the system comprising:

• a voice over data network server configured to implement, at least in part, a voice over data network and provide voice services to a wireless handset device via a wireless device transceiver;
• a gateway configured to connect the voice over data network with a cellular network;
• the voice over data network server facilitating communication with the wireless handset device via a wireless device transceiver utilizing a base station;
• the voice over data network server further configured to recognize an emergency call placed from the wireless handset device while providing the voice services over the voice over data network;
• the voice over data network server further configured to determine whether the cellular network is available for the wireless handset device to place the emergency call, if the cellular network is available, the voice over data network server further configured to direct the wireless handset device to transmit the emergency call over the cellular network with the wireless device transceiver to a Public Safety Answering Point;
• and
• the voice over data network server is further configured, if the cellular network is not available, to transmit the emergency call over the voice over data network to the gateway that directs the emergency call on the voice over data network to at least one of the following:
• a national emergency call center or a Public Safety Answering Point,
• wherein the wireless handset device comprises a smartphone;
• wherein the wireless handset device comprises an application executed by a wireless device processor configured to provide the voice services over the voice over data network, determine whether a call is the emergency call, and place the emergency call over the cellular network;
• wherein the voice over data network server is further configured to transmit information associated with the emergency call that includes location information for the wireless handset device;
• wherein the voice over data network server is further configured to transport audio streams over IP networks;
• wherein the location information for the wireless handset device is determined by one of the following:
• a device responsive to a global navigation satellite system and a mobile network operator;
• and
• wherein the gateway is configured to convert the call from a voice over data network format to a cellular network format.
