Patent ID: 7433830

Claim:
A system for assigning and dispatching a telecommunications systems work order based on global positioning information, comprising: a processor in communication with a first database and a second database stored in a memory; the first database storing a plurality of wire centers associated with a plurality of turfs of a telecommunications network; the second database associating the plurality of wire centers to a plurality of allocation areas, each allocation area associated with global positioning system information; the processor receiving a work order associated with a telephone number and with a truncated service address; the processor assigning a wire center, a turf, and an allocation area to the work order based on the truncated street address; the processor querying the first database for the wire center and for the turf and determining that the assigned turf is not associated with the assigned wire center; the processor querying the second database for the assigned wire center; the processor retrieving from the second database another allocation area and the global positioning system information associated with the assigned wire center; means for assigning the global positioning system information to the work order; and means for electronically dispatching the work order to a technician based on the global positioning system information, wherein the global positioning system information comprises one of a set of coordinates comprising a latitude and longitude, xyz-Cartesian coordinates, or position, velocity, and time coordinates, for a reference location within the another allocation area, and wherein the reference location is one of an intersection of streets, a landmark, a building, or a network facility within the another allocation area.
