E112 - The Current Situation Vaguely formulated Commission Directive Standardization and legislation is national Multiple interpretations and ambition levels in different countries Current standardization in most countries is not defined with emergency positioning of mobile subscribers in mind Government and operator infrastructure not ready A large number of Emergency Centers lack support for handling positioning of mobile subscribers Network infrastructure lacks support for handling positioning of all call types Commercial positioning available in many networks Primarily low accuracy methods deployed Increasing interest in high accuracy positioning

E112 – Suggested Way Forward Short term: Define national standards and clarify legislation Add mobile positioning capability to Emergency Centers Upgrade operator infrastructure Base E112 positioning accuracy on technology driven by commercial applications Long term: Add accuracy requirements when the infrastructure is ready Base requirements on technology alternatives available at that time
