  1. Emergency Services Workshop UK “i2” for VoIP 999/112s John Medland – BT 999/112 Policy Manager

  2. UK Emergency Service today (222 Local Controls) Police 56% BT or CW Operator Centres Ambulance 35% BT or CW Public TDM Ntwk (PSTN) PSTN Stage 1 PSAPs Fire 8% 999/112/ 18000 Other TDM Networks Coastguard<1% Stage 2 PSAPs BT – 28m calls, 55% mobile, every call voice + location 999/112/18000

  3. Handling VoIP 999 now • PSAPs still TDM based so VoIP goes through PSTN / IP Gateways • Small number of VoIP 999s at present, mostly fixed users • Regulation says if PSTN access, then must allow 999 • 999s identified as VoIP • Registered “default” address accessed through E164 tel number (CLI) for “fixed” users…. • ….but default address marked as needing confirmation Verbal routing • Device/CPE use PSTN/GSM for 999 if possible • Key issues for VoIP 999 : -- only default name+address data from large number of VoIP SPs- challenge of 24 hour VSP contact point for PSAP use (tracing, alternative contact numbers)- lack of information to PSAP for nomadic users • Need to Automate Location provision………

  4. NICC Task Group • The Network Interoperabilty Consultative Committee : NICC is a UK telecommunications industry committee which acts as an industry consensus group in which specifications and technical issues associated with network competition can be discussed. It also is a source of technical advice to the UK Regulator • Location Task Group : Routing 999/112 for VoIP to correct local EA supplying caller location information on all calls • Membership : BT, C&W, Ericssons, ALu, Huawei, Andrew, ETSI, Magrathea, Thus, IN UK, Virgin Media, Orange, and Ofcom +…. • Approach :-- VSP, ISP and Access Provider(s) all different organisations- PSAPs are still TDM based- Start with UK only (all parties UK-based) - Start with DSL, then tackle Cable, WiFI and GSM scenarios - Use developing standards wherever possible, eg IETF, ETSI- Don’t rely on user- Don’t rely on device

  8. Implications Yes, automated routing and location provision is technically feasible (for DSL case) but will imply :- • New requirements on all organisations (systems development) • Many more organisations involved to deliver 999 (not just traditional telcos but VSPs and ISPs) • New operational components : LIS and VPC • New interfaces for all organisations: based on international standards as far as possible (eg IETF HELD) • Increased co-op and trust relationships between PSAP and VSP, ISP and Access networks • Detailed document is now in final stage of NICC review process …………………..

  9. Challenges to adoption • ISPs storing and updating association of IP/Line ID/ location at an ISP LIS • LIS cascades to access providers and length of response times • Challenging business cases (!) unless regulatory driven • Current regulatory responsibility unclear when several CPs and an ISP involved

  10. Next Steps - Continued work on other UK scenarios (Wireless, Private networks)- International Scenarios : national solns need to evolve to cover international IP roamers- Long transition periods with hybrid TDM/IP services- IP end-to-end (as NGN, PSAP +device capabilities become clear)  i3 / IETF Ecrit
