10 ATIS NGIIF Overview The ATIS Next Generation Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NGIIF) addresses next-generation network interconnection and interoperability issues associated with emerging technologies. Specifically, it develops operational procedures which involve the network aspects of architecture, disaster preparedness, installation, maintenance, management, reliability, routing, security, and testing between network operators. In addition, the NGIIF addresses issues which impact the interconnection of existing and next generation networks and facilitate the transition to emerging technologies. NGIIF Co-Chairs: Ann Marie Cederberg (Qwest) and Karen Riepenkroger (Sprint Nextel) 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010

11 ATIS NGIIF Issue Need for Emergency Notification Best Practices 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 A recent tropical storm and the actions of a sheriff’s department illustrate the ramifications of unthrottled emergency notifications. In an effort to notify 6,000 residents, the sheriff’s office launched 55,000 calls in a 5 minute period. This incident compromised the access tandem which received traffic from at least two Interexchange carriers. The local exchange which serves the community in question was also compromised. Outgoing as well as incoming traffic was blocked by this event.

13 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 ESIF NGES Overview The Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF) provides a venue to facilitate the identification and resolution of technical and/or operational issues related to the interconnection of emergency services networks with other networks (e.g., wireline, cable, satellite, Internet, etc.) The ESIF Next Generation Emergency Services (NGES) Subcommittee was created to address NG9-1-1 related issues ESIF NGES Co-Chairs: –Anand Akundi (Telcordia Technologies) –Christian Militeau (Intrado)

14 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 ESIF NGES Focus The ESIF NGES Subcommittee: –Focuses on addressing issues related to Next Generation Emergency Services (i.e., VoIP, IMS, LTE, FMC, etc.) –Provides Industry Liaisons with global Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) to communicate ESIF requirements, clarify directions, and respond to queries on “North American” emergency service related issues –Provides standards development coordination for next generation emergency services with other ATIS Committees (PTSC, WTSC, PRQC, etc.)

15 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 ESIF NGES Standards Issue 49, ATIS , “Considerations for an Emergency Services Next Generation Network (ES-NGN)” –Provides ATIS Gap Analysis for the NGN and also for developing Emergency Services standards for interconnection with the ATIS NGN. –The term ES-NGN is used to define an emergency services architecture based upon the ATIS definition of NGN. –Identifies standards and standards activities that are relevant to the evolution of emergency services networks in the context of next generation telecommunications networks. In addition, it identifies potential gaps where standards need to be developed in order to complete the definition of emergency services in next generation networks. The focus of this Technical Report is the interconnection between the ES- NGN and networks that originate emergency calls. It also discusses connectivity to PSAPs and legacy emergency services networks.

16 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 ESIF NGES Standards Issue 63, ATIS , “Request for Assistance Interface (RFAI) Standard” –Developed a protocol for interfacing between an IP Selective Router (IPSR) (located within the ES-NGN) and an IP PSAP American National Standard (ANS) for the RFAI targeted for EOY 2010 (Issue 67) The protocol will be tested by several IPSR and IP PSAP CPE vendors at the May 2010 NENA ICE 2 for interoperability/conformance. –The protocol enables to transition from today’s legacy network environment to an IP infrastructure. –The protocol enables the use of p-ANI as a location query key to obtain initial location and subsequent location updates from the ALI database. –ESIF NGES developed standardization activities around the specification of the requirements, architecture, call flows and profiles for the RFAI protocol.

17 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 Current ESIF NGES Issues Issue 66: –Developing an ATIS Standard for Emergency Services Network-to- Network Interface Standard (ES-NNI), which is a companion document of the ATIS (PTSC) IP Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) for VoIP Standard (ATIS ) –Addresses the interconnection of IP originating networks with the ATIS NGN in support of emergency services –Extends the ATIS NNI Standard for Emergency Services (i.e., the “Mm” Interface from the 3GPP IMS Emergency Services architecture from TS for North America) –The protocol enables the transfer of a call using location by reference and location by value along with call back capabilities and other functionalities that are required for emergency services –The protocol will support Multimedia in a future version –ESIF will provide its document for review by other SDOs
