4 | THE STANDARD Issue 1, 2018 ETSI completes work on VoIP emergency caller location The standard developed in the Technical Committee Network Technologies represents an essential step to support emergency services with systematic location information delivery. ES 203 283 leverages a number of IETF- Taking into account requirements from defined protocols, some of which did the industry to enable the support not initially fulfil all the requirements of emergency services for private IP identified in the service architecture networks, the specifications published specification. In order to fill this gap, by ETSI in response to Mandate 493 EC Mandate 493 (2011) required ETSI TC NTECH has proposed, through provide a solid technical reference to develop a solution to enable the contributions submitted by some of for enabling the determination localization of VoIP emergency callers, its members to IETF, updates to HELD and transport of emergency callers’ in response to the Universal Service (HTTP-enabled Location Delivery location information regardless of the Directive 2002/22/EC.

An unbalanced one could have led the location information source along to important impairing in case the with the location information itself in Architecture for VoIP emergency caller localisation EC would mandate the deployment, an emergency call. support favouring one or the other market area. Some of these touchy aspects were related to, for instance, security and opening of access to databases. A careful technical work has allowed attaining a balanced solution acceptable to all parties involved. After the definition of the service architecture in ES 203 178 in 2015, TC NTECH has completed the work by specifying the protocols to be used at the interfaces exposed in this architecture. Consequently ES 203 283 was published at the end of November. The challenge of these specifications was to conciliate the interests of network operators, who already provide the localization of emergency callers connected to their IMS networks, NFV & Zero Touch with those of service providers that offer VoIP call services using different World Congress types of IP platforms. The possibility for the users to benefit from VoIP service providers independently from the location and the regulatory domain poses several challenges for the definition of a suitable solution that still has to comply with traditional implementations of emergency services and legacy Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), as the mandate explicitly required. TC NTECH has therefore taken into 24-27 April 2018, San Jose, CA, USA consideration all these aspects and worked out the most balanced With NFV and the transformation to a virtualized networking possible solution. It allows the required platform now well underway at Carriers - and already extant at Cloud opening to new market players with the definition of the needed interfaces providers - the stage is now set for further transformation. With a between the access network providers, strategic vision of Zero Touch, both Carrier and Cloud providers have the VoIP service providers, the an objective of full network and services Automation. So join us for emergency service providers and finally the NFV & Zero Touch World Congress! the PSAPs, but is still compliant with a classic 3GPP network.
