An inter-working network for facilitating dispatch communications between subscribers of disparate dispatch networks includes core inter-working components and regional inter-working components. The core inter-working components include a network management system, an address translation server, a location server and a billing clearinghouse. Regional inter-working components include a plurality of points-of-presence and a plurality of border gateways interfacing each dispatch network to a point-of-presence. The billing clearinghouse collects call data from the regional points-of-presence for dispatch sessions facilitated by the inter-working architecture, performs a settlement function and creates corresponding inter-working invoices.
