UK Architecture for VoIP 999/112s
John Medland – BT 999/112 Policy Manager
UK Emergency Service
Public Emergency numbers
- 999/112,
- 18000 (ITU v21 text over voice, ie real time text using special terminals)
Police 52%
Stage 1 PSAPs

999/112/

•31 million calls each
year to stage 1 PSAPs,
55% from mobile
phones
Fixed/Mobile
Networks
Ambulance
42%
•Around 60% are connected
to Stage 2 PSAPs (usually
within 10 seconds)
Public

Fire 6%
Coastguard
<1%

(
Location for emergency callers
• Available automatically on fixed and mobile calls at Stage 1 and
Stage 2 PSAPs
• Fixed lines : civic locations as name and address updated daily to
Stage 1 PSAP database
• Mobile networks provide cell coverage area (enhanced with timing
advance for some) over standard ETSI interface: radius ~2.2km
• Limitations for VoIP calls, calls from private networks, mobile
roamers
• Stage 1 PSAPs provide Location Servers which can be
accessed by Stage 2 PSAPs ( location retrieved instantly using
telephone number + secure TCP/IP link)
• Industry funded Stage 1 PSAPs supply location free to Stage 2
PSAPs (Stage 2 PSAPs pay for their lines, hardware and software)
• Telematics emergency calls (non-standard eCalls) growing and can
provide GPS information
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 voice 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………
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, Huawei, Andrew, Nominet,
Magrathea, Aeonvista,Vodafone, VirginMedia, 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)
- Cover DSL, Cable, Enterprise, WiFi and GSM scenarios
- Use developing standards wherever possible, eg IETF, ETSI
- Don’t rely on user
- Don’t rely on device

Way Forward for UK
• NICC Standard published Jan 2010
http://www.niccstandards.org.uk/files/current/ND1638%20V1.1.2.pdf?type=pdf
• 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
• NICC Work to continue : other use cases, IP PSAPs (IP end to end)
