Highlights (2)

• ATIS created an Interim Non-Voice Emergency Services (INES) Incubator to identify interim solution(s) for text-based wireless communications to existing 9-1-1 services as an alternative to the text telephone system (TTY) while Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) solutions are under development.– First meeting in April 2011– Target to complete its work by the end of 2011– Work is being closely monitored by the FCC– See ATIS ICT Accessibility presentation for

additional information

Highlights (3)• Completed multiple Commercial Mobile Alert System

(CMAS) and Cell Broadcast deliverables– Working to align with 3GPP deliverables– Currently developing implementation guidelines for the

incorporation of the Spanish language– Target launch date of April 2012

• Supporting public safety mission critical voice requirements for the 700 MHz broadband networks via modifications to existing and development of new 3GPP and ATIS standards

• Developing supplement to NENA’s i3 standard to support interface from IMS-originating networks to NENA’s emergency services networks

GSC16-PLEN-65

Highlights (4)• ATIS is a member of the FCC’s third Communications Security,

Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC)– Provides recommendations and critical input to the FCC to ensure optimal

security and reliability of communications systems, including telecommunications, media, and public safety

– Multiple Working Groups (WGs) established to address a wide array of topics• E9-1-1• Location• 9-1-1 Prioritization• Security• Etc.

– ATIS has representation in CSRIC WGs, as many align with existing ATIS work plans and deliverables

• ATIS is a member of the FCC’s Emergency Access Advisory Committee (EAAC)– Makes recommendations to the FCC regarding policies and practices for the

purpose of achieving equal access to emergency services by individuals with disabilities, as a part of the migration to a national Internet protocol-enabled emergency network, also known as NG911

GSC16-PLEN-65

Strategic Direction• Work in response to regulatory mandates and

statutory changes• Work proactively with DHS/NCS to define Industry

Requirements and Standards in support of ETS• Work proactively to support Public Safety needs

– Public Safety Endorsement of LTE for 700MHz broadband • Provide guidance to the FCC on its NG9-1-1 and

MMES to NG9-1-1 rulemaking efforts.• Focus on regional needs (North America) and in

coordination with global directions• Coordinate/collaborate with other organizations where

appropriate (e.g., 3GPP, TIA, ITU, IETF, NENA, etc.)

GSC16-PLEN-65

Challenges• Working at the nexus where law, regulation, technology, social

trends, and standards come together• Delivering standards to satisfy aggressive regulatory mandate target

dates such that reliable implementations can be deployed (per target dates)

• Regarding E9-1-1, the NG9-1-1 standards can get far ahead of deployments given that there are 6,000+ PSAPs in the United States and there are generally different deployment timeframes– Messaging to NG911 is receiving significant interest

• Regarding MMES, anticipate the requirements of both users with special needs and the general public, develop a reliable solution that does not have the limitations of SMS, and define the interface to the PSAPs

• Regarding ETS, providing priority routing/processing for NGN Services, including data services (e.g., messaging, email, etc.), enhanced authentication, authentication assurance, security and Identity Management

Next Steps/Actions• Continue to proactively support Public Safety stakeholder

needs • Continue supporting DHS/NCS ETS service requirements• Continue with cross-organizational coordination and

collaboration• Participate in Government Advisory Committees• Collaborate with DHS/FEMA on future updates and

releases related to CMAS

Summary of General Activity• Citizen-to-Authority (E911, NOVES)

– Focus on NG911 (e.g., NGN/IMS and Location Parameter Acquisition, Conveyance Architecture, and Protocols) and various near term/legacy matters (e.g., routing number administration for VoIP and wireless, NG Messaging to NG911)

– Non-Voice Emergency Services for those with special needs and for the general public

• Authority-to-Citizen (EAS, CMAS, ENS)– Focus on emergency notification standards support for various technologies:

• IPTV EAS requirements and metadata• Wireless CMAS functions and interfaces:

– Common aspects (i.e., Gov-to-Service Provider [gateway-to-gateway] interface, and mobile device behavior) done in collaboration with TIA

– GSM/UMTS/LTE specific aspects• Wireline ENS best practices

• Authority-to-Authority (ETS)– Focus on supporting ETS for NGN VoIP and Data services

• NGN/IMS Core Network Requirements• Wireline Access Network Requirements• ETS service description (including End-to-end call flows), authentication,

and security standards/recommendations • Gap requirements brought to the IETF and 3GPP, where appropriate

Overview of Emergency Communications Work in ATIS • ATIS committee work is in support of

initiatives by: – FCC/Federal government– Regional/State governments and– Local governments

• ATIS committees also act as a feeder group to the ITU-T, and as Individual Members into 3GPP, in support of international general emergency communication services

ATIS Involvement with FCC – CMAS• Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Commercial Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee (CMSAAC) – ATIS was a member of the FCC advisory committee, which

completed in October 2007– Advisory Committee recommendations was the basis for

the FCC rules for CMAS• ATIS worked closely with the government (DHS, FEMA)

on the development of an interface specification, as well as a testing specification, to the Federal Alert Gateway
