Abstract:
1. A system for analyzing a critical telecommunication circuit, the system comprising: a first database comprising information about a plurality of telecommunication circuits and associated telecommunication resources; a second database capable of storing information about a plurality of critical telecommunications circuits, wherein each critical telecommunication circuit is associated with a set of telecommunication resources; and a computer in communication with the first and second databases, wherein the computer has instructions executable to: receive input regarding a plurality of telecommunication circuits determined as critical telecommunication circuits, wherein the plurality of critical telecommunication circuits are selected from the group consisting of emergency services network circuits, air traffic control system network circuits, Signaling System 7 (“SS7”) network circuits, and combinations thereof; search the first database for information about the plurality of critical telecommunication circuits and the plurality of telecommunication resources associated with the critical telecommunication circuits; store the information about the critical telecommunication circuits and the associated telecommunication resources in the second database; search the second database to analyze a relationship between at least one of the critical telecommunication circuits and at least one of the associated telecommunication resources, wherein the analysis, in part, identifies the at least one associated telecommunication resource as a critical telecommunication resource; and display a result indicating whether there is a relationship between the at least one critical telecommunication circuit and the at least one telecommunication resource.
