EmLoc TG Location Task Group : Routing 999/112 for VoIP to correct local Emergency Authority with VoIP caller s location Membership : Alcatel-Lucent, BSkyB, BT, CPNI, Ericsson, EE, Huawei, Magrathea, Nominet, Ofcom, O2, Unify, Virginmedia, Vodafone and Ofcom +.. Approach :- - VSP, ISP and Access Provider can all be different - Scope : excluded user and device inputs ; all parties UK based - International Standards still developing (use wherever possible) Output was ND1638 in 2010:- Increased co op between 999 CHA (PSAP) and VSP, ISP and Access networks New network entities : LIS (for ISP)and VPC(for 999 CHA) New interfaces for all : Http/Https and XML New requirements on all organisations => systems development not yet implemented.. http://www.niccstandards.org.uk/files/current/nd1638%20v1.1.2.pdf?type=pdf 2014 Open Forum

EmLoc TG current work IP PBX configuration : guidance for how Private Networks can be set up to provide best possible location (ND1432 draft) ND1638 being updated to allow for use of terminal location and to reflect recent IETF protocol changes ETSI M493 this is likely to supersede ND1638 so is being tracked : UK contributions led by BT with EmLoc input will be studied for UK implementation WiFi access use case for ND1638 : being driven by mobile networks as implement 4G and WiFi access for voice New Work Item (working with SIP TG) : emergency calls are protected/prioritised in TDM networks : principles to be documented to guide requirements for SIP networks 2014 Open Forum
Next Steps for VoIP 999 location More organisations involved to deliver 999 more diverse communication (not just traditional telcos providing physical access networks but VSPs, ISPs and terminal providers) New operational components will be : Location Information Server, LIS (ISP + Access Ntwk) and possibly a VPC (for 999 PSAP) for VoIP New interfaces for all organisations : based on international standards as far as possible (eg IETF HELD) New terminal capabilities : location aware mobile handsets, in vehicle units (ecall), routers Increased co op between PSAP/VSP, PSAP/ISP and VSP/ISP/Access networks Timescales to implement uncertain : technically feasible, end user technology changes probably will drive it, regulation also possible.. NICC EmLoc work to continue : need more organisations! [Eg : ITSPA, ISPA, Avaya, Cisco and Microsoft) 2014 Open Forum
