Abstract
A method for aggregating outage data via an edge computing system is provided. The method may include transmitting, by each edge-node included in a network, a self-identifying, self-locating, communication. The method may include receiving, at each edge-node included in the network, self-identifying, self-locating, communications from one or more edge-nodes included in the network. The method may include detecting an outage relating to a first edge-node included in the network. The outage may be detected by at least one edge-node included in the network. The at least one edge-node may not be the first edge-node. The at least one edge-node may be the first edge-node operating in limited capacity. The method may include identifying a most-recently confirmed location of an entity co-located with the first edge-node. The method may include dispatching outage-restoration-assistance to the most-recently confirmed real-time location of the entity co-located with the first edge-node.
