  • ECC REPORT 143 Electronic Communications Committee
    ECC REPORT 143 Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) within the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) PRACTICAL IMPROVEMENTS IN HANDLING 112 EMERGENCY CALLS: CALLER LOCATION INFORMATION Lisbon, April 2010 ECC REPORT 143 Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Each year in the European Union several millions of citizens dial the emergency call number to access emergency services. Due to increasing penetration of mobile telephony in the society, the share of emergency calls emanating from mobile networks is rapidly outgrowing emergency calls for fixed networks; this causes that an emergency situation mobile callers are increasingly not able to indicate the precise location for an optimum response. Similarly, VoIP services are substituting voice calls over traditional networks, customers increasingly use VoIP for emergency calls and expecting the same reliability and completeness of the emergency calls service. Location information is normally represented by data indicating the geographic position of the terminal equipment of a user. These data vary in range, indicating in a general way where the user is or very precise, pinpointing the user’s whereabouts to within a few meters. Some location data are effectively a subset of signalling data as they are necessary for setting up a telephone connection. In the framework of Enhanced emergency call services, the availability of location information must serve three main goals: Route the calls to the right emergency call centre; Locate the caller and/or the incident site. Dispatch the most appropriate emergency response team(s); The Report identify the most relevant regulatory principles applicable to caller location requirements in the context of emergency calls and analyses the location information standards produced by ETSI as a Standard Development Organization for fixed, mobile and IP communications networks.
