SC EMTEL (Emergency Communications) Highlight of Current Activities § Revision of existing deliverables: • Use of SMS complementing an emergency call (TR 102 180) • Use of Cell Broadcast Services (TR 102 182) § Development of new deliverables: • Application of Cell broadcast services (draft TR 102 900) § In conjunction with an EU-Alert project § Significant collaboration with 3 GPP § To take place with CMAS (US) and ETWS (Japan) specification • Testing the performance of the emergency call service § Published in July 2010 (SR 002 777) § Establishing closer ties with EU • Contribution to the Expert Group on Emergency Access § In summary, a significant activity in 2010 2

SC EMTEL Strategic Direction § Maintain the momentum of activity based on a combined participation of vendors, operators and emergency services representatives § Develop requirements based on service and functional description § Be an observatory of work performed in various groups: • • • 3 GPP (SA 1, CT 1) NENA (north America) and EENA (Europe) PSCE forum IETF and ECRIT (issues linked with localisation information) ITU-T (SG 2) § Promote the activity and recognition of EMTEL • Through pragmatic actions (conferences, website) • Initiatives (e. g. contact with EGEA) 3

SC EMTEL Challenges § Improve promotion of EMTEL documents to users and other groups (e. g. other TBs and 3 GPP groups, other SDOs, European projects). § Continuous effort to get users’ requirements through more public safety users (e. g. fire and rescue services, ambulances, police, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP etc)) involved in the EMTEL work. § Promote global harmonisation of public safety spectrum needs and provision of dedicated spectrum capacity for public safety use only. next Steps/Actions § Special Report on call forwarding and the referral of emergency calls is being compiled (SR 002 776): • In some countries, emergency calls have to be redialled if more than one service is required • EMTEL is looking at ways in which the call can be forwarded, to save crucial time and increase efficiency 4

SC EMTEL Liaisons § EMTEL has regular liaisons with other groups such as: • • other ETSI TBs 3 GPP groups ITU-T IETF-ECRIT Co. Com EGEA (Expert Group on Emergency Access) BAPCO (British Association of Public Safety Communications Officers) NENA, PSE (Public Safety Europe) Forum 5

TC SES Sat. EC (Satellite Emergency Communications) § Early warning systems • WG-Sat. EC is developing a protocol allowing the transport/distribution of polymorph alert messages over satellite links § Easily Deployable Emergency Communication Cells • WG-Sat. EC is studying the characteristics and requirements for easily deployable communication cells providing seamless backhauling and interconnection of terrestrial networks via satellite § Key to successful emergency communications = common data formats + interoperable systems + common spectrum 6

TC TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) q One of ETSI’s success stories q TC TETRA has overall responsibility within ETSI for the development and maintenance of standards for TETRA and further evolutions thereof q TETRA is a standard defined to meet the needs of the most demanding professional mobile radio users q TETRA has reached a great acceptance in the world and is widely established (117 countries) q Challenges Ø Additional spectrum requirements for future TETRA systems (TR 102 628 to be published shortly) Ø Inter-System Interface (ISI cross boarder communication) Note: support for these activities received from Police Cooperation WG (within Europe) 7

PSPP MESA activities § International Public Safety Partnership Project between ETSI (Europe) and TIA (North America) § Produce globally applicable technical specifications for an integrated and innovative digital mobile broadband “System of Systems” for public protection and disaster response sectors § For a better coordination of national and international responses to manage emergencies, disasters, planned events and day-by-day monitoring § MESA system is based on existing technologies such as TETRA § Transmission and reception of voice, video, high speed data § MESA Statement of requirements (So. R) - TS 170 001 • a profile of the operational and functional requirements of aeronautical and terrestrial-based digital, wireless, broadband systems 8

PSPP MESA status § MESA has achieved its goal. . . and is about to close ! § Today different goals in North America and in Europe • Effort of US Federal Government, the private sector, and Public Safety to use newly allocated 700 MHz spectrum for the creation of a nationwide Public Safety and public broadband service • North American Public Safety community chose to adopt LTE as their technology of choice for the future 9

Mobile cellular, such as GSM/UMTS with e. Call § e. Call project initiated as WG of the e. Safety Forum § e. Call aims at issuing an automated call to emergency services, including data • To reduce response time of emergency services § Standards developed in CEN, 3 GPP and ETSI • Content and format of the Minimum Set of Data (MSD). MSD generated by the vehicle to the PSAP at e. Call establishment. MSD defined in CEN/TS 15722 • Transport protocol to send the MSD from the In Vehicle System (IVS) to the PSAP, via the GSM/UTS network, defined in 3 GPP § “e. Call Data Transfer – In-band modem solution” • Initial Test cases on system done by 3 GPP • Currently completion of broader tests by STF 399 related to ETSI TC MSG 10

TC ERM TG DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) § ETSI standard defining a direct digital replacement for analogue PMR • TS 102 361 -x first published in March 2005 § DMR standard produced in TC ERM (EMC and Radio spectrum Matters) TGDMR § DMR has the capability to serve: • Consumer and short-range industrial • Professional / Business-Critical applications • Public Safety / Mission-Critical applications (Tier 3: licensed trunking) § The technology promises improved range, higher data rates, more efficient use of spectrum, and improved battery 11

TC RRS (Reconfigurable Radio Systems) § Today the shortage of suitable radio spectrum is the major hurdle for the rollout of reliable high speed data networks for Public Safety organizations. § Traditionally spectrum allocation is made on a static basis. In the future, spectrum allocation may be based on a flexible basis. § RRS technology may be an enabler for a flexible approach to spectrum allocation § TC RRS WG 4 on Public Safety has recently published a TR on System Aspects for Public Safety (TR 102 733) • Focuses on overall system design and terminal architecture for an RRSbased Public Safety communication infrastructure • Feasibility study to cope with current situation of heterogeneous set of networks and ICT systems among Public Safety community 12

Misconceptions about emergency communications § Emergency telecommunications are only about supporting disaster response • Wrong: mitigation, preparedness and relief are equally important. § Emergency telecommunications are only of interest during major disasters • Wrong: in addition daily emergencies (e. g. EMS) and disasters must be supported by the same systems § emergency telecomms solutions are mostly a technology issue just like standard telecoms networks § Wrong: they are mostly user driven and the major blocking issues are political and economic, not technical. § The higher the throughput, the better ! • Wrong: 56 kbit/s now is better than 512 kbit/s in one hour ! 13
