This book provides a comprehensive view of the emerging
standards for Vo IP emergency calling from an International
perspective
In this book, the authors provide a treatment of the Vo IP
emergency calling process that is both comprehensive, looking at
all aspects of emergency calling, and practical, providing
technical details on how such functions can be implemented. In
addition, the authors describe the standardization efforts of the
Internet Engineering Task Force who are currently working to
improve the situation for Vo IP emergency calls. The book provides
an overview of emergency calling with a particular focus on the
ECRIT emergency calling architecture, and discusses considerations
related to implementation, deployment, and regulation of
next-generation emergency calling. It also takes a look at
practical aspects of emergency calling, with a set of exercises to
help the reader get familiar with the technologies involved.
Key Features:
* Comprehensive view of emerging standards for Vo IP emergency
calling from an international perspective
* Practical guides for implementing the core of the emergency
calling architecture
* Architectural, practical, and regulatory perspectives
* Written by experts working on the development of emergency
calling architectures and its implementation
* Includes an accompanying website with open-source software
packages (href=’http://www.voip-sos.net/’>http://www.voip-sos.net/)
This book will be an invaluable resource for product managers
and developers, equipment vendors, network operators, emergency
service providers, and telecommunications regulators. Industry
professionals interested in standards compliance will also find
this book of interest.
