2. 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 3GPP  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

3. 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: 3GPP (SA1, CT1) NENA (north America) and EENA (Europe) PSCE forum IETF and ECRIT (issues linked with localisation information) ITU-T (SG2)  Promote the activity and recognition of EMTEL Through pragmatic actions (conferences, website) Initiatives (e.g. contact with EGEA) 3

4. SC EMTEL Challenges  Improve promotion of EMTEL documents to users and other groups (e.g. other TBs and 3GPP 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

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

6. TC SES SatEC (Satellite Emergency Communications)  Early warning systems WG-SatEC is developing a protocol allowing the transport/distribution of polymorph alert messages over satellite links  Easily Deployable Emergency Communication Cells WG-SatEC 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

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

8. 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 (SoR) - TS 170 001 a profile of the operational and functional requirements of aeronautical and terrestrial-based digital, wireless, broadband systems 8

9. 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

10. Mobile cellular, such as GSM/UMTS with eCall  eCall project initiated as WG of the eSafety Forum  eCall aims at issuing an automated call to emergency services, including data To reduce response time of emergency services  Standards developed in CEN, 3GPP and ETSI Content and format of the Minimum Set of Data (MSD). MSD generated by the vehicle to the PSAP at eCall 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 3GPP  “eCall Data Transfer – In-band modem solution” Initial Test cases on system done by 3GPP Currently completion of broader tests by STF 399 related to ETSI TC MSG 10

11. 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

12. 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 WG4 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 RRS- based Public Safety communication infrastructure Feasibility study to cope with current situation of heterogeneous set of networks and ICT systems among Public Safety community 12

13. 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
