Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to acquisition and exchange of location data with an emergency call center using a private cellular network. A private cellular network includes a location engine configured to store specific location information of user equipment connected to the private cellular network via an access point; and at least one network element configured to receive a request for placing an emergency call from an endpoint communicatively coupled to the private cellular network; determine endpoint specific location information for the endpoint by communicating with the location engine of the private cellular network that identifies location of the endpoint within a confined space in which the private cellular network is deployed; and send the endpoint specific location information of the endpoint to an emergency service provider for dispatching to a location of the endpoint based at least in part on the endpoint specific location information.
