Systems and Methods for Use in Providing Location Services

A system for dynamically providing a physical location of a mobile communication device, connected to a network platform, in connection with a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) emergency call, the system comprising:

• a data structure including a physical location table, the physical location table identifying a plurality of designations, each of the designations being for at least one of:
• a switch and/or port;
• and
• an access point;
• wherein each of the designations is associated with a physical location, the physical location indicating a physical location of connection to the at least one of the switch and/or port and the access point;
• a processor coupled to the data structure, the processor configured to:
• receive a media access control (MAC) address for a mobile communication device initiating a VoIP emergency call via a VoIP application, the mobile communication device connected to a network platform and initiating the VoIP emergency call through the network platform, the mobile communication device connected to the network platform through at least one of:
• a switch and/or port;
• and
• an access point;
• request, from a server of the network platform, a designation of the at least one of:
• the switch and/or port through which the mobile communication device is connected to the network platform and the access point through which the mobile communication device is connected to the network platform;
• receive the requested designation from the server;
• retrieve, from the data structure, the physical location associated with the mobile communication device based on the designation;
• and
• transmit the physical location, whereby the physical location of the mobile communication device may be dynamically identified in connection with the VoIP emergency call.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media including executable instructions for dynamically providing a physical location of a mobile communication device in connection with a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) emergency call, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a media access control (MAC) address for a mobile communication device initiating a VoIP emergency call via a VoIP application, the mobile communication device connected to a network platform and initiating the VoIP emergency call through the network platform, the mobile communication device connected to the network platform through at least one of:
• (a) a switch and/or port and (b) an access point;
• request from a server of the network platform a designation of the at least one of:
• (a) the switch and/or port through which the mobile communication device is connected to the network platform and (b) the access point through which the mobile communication device is connected to the network platform;
• receive the designation from the server;
• retrieve, from a data structure, a physical location associated with the mobile communication device, based on the designation;
• and
• transmit the physical location, whereby the physical location of the mobile communication device may be dynamically identified in connection with the VoIP emergency call.
