Internet Protocol-based Emergency Services [EPUB ebook] 

Written by international experts in the field, this book
covers the standards, architecture and deployment issues related to
IP-based emergency services

This book brings together contributions from experts on
technical and operational aspects within the international

handling of IP-based emergency calls. Readers will learn how
these standards work, how various standardization organizations
contributed to them and about pilot projects, early deployment and
current regulatory situation.

Key Features:

* Provides an overview of how the standards related to IP-based
emergency services work, and how various organizations contributed
to them

* Focuses on SIP and IMS-based communication systems for the
Internet

* Covers standards, architecture and deployment issues

* International focus, with coverage of the major national
efforts in this area

* Written by the experts who were/are involved in the development
of the standards (NENA, EENA, 3GPP, IETF, ETSI, etc.)

* Accompanying website provides updates on standards and
deployment (http://ip-emergency.net)

This book is an excellent resource for vendors building software
and equipment for emergency services, engineers/researchers engaged
in development of networks and network elements and
standardization, emergency services providers, standardization
experts, product persons, those within the regulatory environment.
Students and lecturers, infrastructure and application service
providers will also find this book of interest.

Hannes Tschofenig, Nokia Siemens Networks, Finland

Hannes Tschofenig has worked on the topic of emergency services for
the past 5 years in the area of standardization. He is Chair of the
IETF Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technology (ECRIT)
working group with Marc Linsner, and Chair of the European
Emergency Number Association (EENA) Next Generation 112 Technical
Committee with Roger Hixson (NENA management person). Hannes
and Henning have organized the SDO emergency services workshops
with a small group of people, where they have contributed to a
number of specifications in this field. Tschofenig has taught
courses, and given presentations and tutorials about emergency
services to other professionals.
