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………
•
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

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
…………………..
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
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
