Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for supporting multiple emergency users in a push-to-talk group. The methods include receiving a first emergency alert from a first user device in the push-to-talk group; receiving a second emergency alert from a second user device in the push-to-talk group; causing the first emergency alert and second emergency alert to be provided to each of the console devices in the push-to-talk group; receiving, from the first user device, a first communication and receiving, from the second user device, a second communication; causing the first communication and the second communication to each of the console devices in the push-to-talk group. The methods further include receiving, from a first console device, a selection of one of the first user device and the first emergency alert; and, in response subsequently selectively routing a third communication from the first user device to the first console device and not to a second console device in the push-to-talk group.
