`
`US. Patent No: 7,643,445, entitled Interoperable Communications System and
`
`Method of Use, issued on Jan. 5, 2010, and US. Patent No. 8,320,874, entitled System and
`
`Method for Establishing an Incident Communications Network, issued on Nov. 27, 2012,
`
`both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety, describe systems and methods
`
`for providing an interoperable communications system (“interop system,” also referred to as
`
`an Incident Communications Network)
`
`including a plurality of otherwise disjunct
`
`communications systems that addressed the deficiencies of prior art systems. The ‘445 and
`
`‘874 patents specifically describe methods for establishing an incident communications
`
`network that enables interoperable communications among communications resources
`
`controlled by multiple organizations during an incident involving emergency or pre-planned
`
`multi-organization communications wherein a communications resource is controlled by an
`
`administrator within an organization.

`an Incident Communications Network, issued on Aug. 19, 2014, (“'940 patent”) which is also
`
`incorporated herein by reference, extends the concepts of the ‘445 and ‘874 patents. Namely,
`
`the '940 patent provides systems and methods that marshal resources into an incident
`
`communications network based on a variety of factors, such as the type of incident and the
`
`type of resource being marshaled.

`
`among
`
`secure
`
`communities,
`
`such as
`
`incident
`
`communications networks, that enable communication resources of a first secure community
`
`to securely access and/or utilize communication resources within other secure communities.
