Systems and methods for selection of a communication path

1. A system for selecting a communication path related to a networked contact center, the system comprising:

a communication module configurable to receive data that includes control data facilitated by a signaling protocol and that indicates that a customer of a tenant is seeking to initiate a communication with the tenant; and

a path selection module configurable to:

register a first location, the first location being a geographical location of an agent associated with the tenant,

determine a second location, the second location being a geographical location of the customer of the tenant, and

based on the first location and the second location, establish the communication between the agent and the customer by selecting a communication path having low communication latency as a function of the first location and the second location.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication module is further configurable to establish the communication between the customer and the agent.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the path selection module is further configurable to capture data communication between the customer and the agent.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signaling protocol is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data indicating that a customer of a tenant is seeking to initiate a communication with the tenant is received at least two proxy servers.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least two proxy servers are configurable to maintain duplicate queues based on a global queue.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control data is received via a Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP).

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein media data is received via a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication is received via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

10. A computer-implemented method for selection of a communication path related to a networked contact center, the method comprising:

registering a first location, the first location being a geographical location of an agent associated with a tenant;

receiving data, that includes control data facilitated by a signaling protocol and that indicates that a customer is seeking to initiate a communication concerning the tenant;

determining a second location, the second location being a geographical location of the customer of the tenant; and

based on the first location and the second location, establishing a communication between the agent and the customer by selecting a communication path having low communication latency as a function of the first location and the second location.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising capturing of data communication between the customer and the agent.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the registering includes uploading information related to the agent to at least one proxy server.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the data indicating that the customer is seeking to initiate the communication is received at a centralized location.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the communication between the agent and the customer is established such that the latency is less than a predetermined value.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising determining that the data indicating that a customer is seeking to initiate a communication concerning the tenant is based on a telephone number dialed by the customer.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the determining is facilitated by a Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS).

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising determining of the second location based on a telephone number dialed by the customer to initiate the communication.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the determining is facilitated by an Automatic Number Identification (ANI).

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when implemented by one or more processors, perform the following operations:

register a first location, the first location being a geographical location of an agent associated with a tenant;

receive data that includes control data facilitated by a signaling protocol and that indicates that a customer is seeking to initiate a communication concerning the tenant;

determine a second location, the second location being a geographical location of the customer of the tenant; and

based on the first location and the second location, establish a communication between the agent and the customer by selecting a communication path having low communication latency as a function of the first location and the second location.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , which when implemented by one or more processors, performs a further operation of capturing the communication between the customer and the agent.

21. The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the registering includes uploading information related to the agent to at least one proxy server.

22. A computer-implemented apparatus for selection of a path in media communications related to a networked contact center, said apparatus comprising:

means for registering a first location, the first location being a geographical location of an agent associated with a tenant;

means for receiving data that includes control data facilitated by a signaling protocol and that indicates that a customer is seeking to initiate a communication concerning the tenant;

means for determining a second location, the second location being a geographical location of the customer of the tenant; and

means for establish a communication between the agent and the customer using a communication path having low communication latency and selected based on the first location and the second location.

23. The computer-implemented apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the signaling protocol is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
