SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE OVER AN INTEGRATED WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

An emergency message system provides a system and method for generating and transmitting emergency messages. In one embodiment, the emergency message system employs a transceiver network with a plurality transceivers coupled to monitoring devices residing at a plurality of customer premises. Control room operators receive an emergency message from an identifiable transceiver. The transceiver, identified by an identification code, indicates a location and the nature of the emergency condition so that the control operators may request appropriate emergency assistance.

1. In a system for communicating emergency messages that includes wireless communication devices, the system comprising:
a device incorporating at least one emergency message transceiver having a first identification code and configured to generate an emergency message, and a transceiver network, the transceiver network further comprising:
a plurality of network transceivers, each network transceiver having a unique identification code and configured to communicate the emergency message with other network transceivers over a predetermined path selected from a plurality of possible paths;the emergency message transceiver configured to communicate the emergency message with at least one of the network transceivers; andat least one site controller coupled to the transceiver unit configured to redefine communication paths when failure of a network transceiver along the predetermined path is detected and transmit path information for a redefined path to one or more transceivers in the network.
