1. eCall: Creating momentum towards the networked car

2. What is Pan European eCall ?
Pan European eCall is a further development of traditional emergency call using the emergency number 112 and is thus free of charge
Pan European eCalls are either generated manually or automatically
When activated a voice connection with the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is established
At the same time a minimum set of data (MSD) is sent using the voice channel to the PSAP operator receiving the voice call
The MSD contains vital data such as the current GPS location coordinates, incident time and vehicle description.
MSD = minimum set of data
PSAP = public safety answering point

3. Pan European eCall, Technical Bits
Whereas the implementation of the Pan European eCall service is at European level, a harmonised approach respecting the different national implementations, interoperability and cross border continuity, the eCall service will use the common European standards as defined by ETSI and CEN*
Pan European eCall transmission is piggybacking on the standards of traditional emergency calls (TS12). This ensures maximum Grade of Service
For the sake to be able to distinguish traditional emergency calls from eCalls, 3GPP/ ETSI standardized the “eCall Flags” (ETSI TS / 3GPP TS )
*a List of relevant eCall Standards is contained in the backup

4. What is managed eCall ?
Managed eCalls are proprietary solutions which from a customers perspective provide basically an equivalent service
Managed eCalls are part of a bundle services (Concierge Service, Breakdown Service…)
Managed eCalls are based on common numbers (not 112)
When activated a voice connection to a service centre is established
From there:
Emergency calls are forwarded to the appropriate PSAP
Emergency related data is sent either via SMS or proprietary modems using the voice channel

5. The regulatory background
A set of proposed legal acts shall ensure the deployment of the 112-based eCall service by 1 October 2015:
A proposal for a regulation on the eCall in-vehicle system concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system. The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a requirement for fitting an eCall in-vehicle system in the EC motor vehicle type-approval system.
The Commission Recommendation 2011/750/EU of 8 September 2011 on support for an EU-wide eCall service in electronic communication networks for the transmission of in-vehicle emergency calls based on 112 (‘eCalls’)
A Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 305/2013 of supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regards to the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall

6. Deutsche Telekom engagement for eCall
Proactive in relevant Standardization Bodies and at political level
Engagement in various Field Trials
All mobile Networks in the DT Group will have the eCall flags* be implemented by October 2015
