Abstract: A system for monitoring quality of calls in a network. A server receives information concerning calls which begin or end in a network and at the same time receives measurements of a quality parameter such as bandwidth. This measurement data is provided by a probe, so that the server is able to correlate calls which are placed through the network with the quality of service in the network at that time. When the quality falls below a desired level, the server notifies the customer or the network operator so that appropriate action may be taken.

Abstract translation: 用于监视网络中呼叫质量的系统。 服务器接收关于在网络中开始或结束的呼叫的信息，并且同时接收诸如带宽的质量参数的测量。 该测量数据由探测器提供，使得服务器能够将通过网络放置的呼叫与当时网络中的服务质量相关联。 当质量低于期望水平时，服务器通知客户或网络运营商，以便采取适当的措施。

Abstract: A method and system for providing an emergency contact service are disclosed. The emergency contact system monitors presence off users with respect to various user devices in order to determine at which devices each user is present. An emergency message is then transmitted to devices at which the user is present. The emergency contact service is then capable of receiving a confirmation message to confirm receipt of the emergency message. The emergency contact service can track the users by retrieving location information, such as a GPS location, associated with a device at which a user is present. The emergency contact service can then identify whether a user in is the vicinity of an emergency location, and transmit an emergency message to the user is the user is in the vicinity of the emergency location.

Abstract: Described is a method for self provisioning of loops. The method includes receiving, from a customer, a registration for a service, the registration comprising specifications for at least one of a customer device, a unique hardware encoded identity of the customer device, a requested service and an access pipe identifier. The method then continues to select a connection box appropriate for the provided specifications, assign an IP address to the connection box and receive, when the connection box is connected to an access pipe, a self registration of the connection box to begin the service over the access pipe.
