Highlights (2) 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

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

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 Work proactively to support non-voice emergency

services to NG911 PSAPs 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.)

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

5

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

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 E911, the NG911 standards can get far ahead of deployments given that there are 6,000+ PSAPs and there are generally different deployment timeframes• Messaging to NG911 is receiving significant interest

Regarding CMAS, develop a testing specification for the interface with the Federal Government, and possible resulting impacts on standards (i.e., alert aggregation, system upgrades, testing, human behavior, etc.)

Regarding NOVES, 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

Challenges

6

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

Complete currently defined work program Continue appropriate changes to current standards suite Continue to proactively support Public Safety stakeholder

needs Respond (at appropriate time) to additional Public Safety

and FCC regulations (e.g., regarding NG911 and NOVES to NG911)

Continue supporting DHS/NCS ETS service requirements in the technical standards committes/forums

Continue with cross-organizational coordination and collaboration

Continue with Emergency Services Coordination Workshops (Citizen-to-Authority)

Participate in Government CMAS Stakeholder Forum

Next Steps/Actions

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 in support of international general emergency communication services

10

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 is working closely with the government (DHS, FEMA)

on the development of an interface specification to the Federal Alert Gateway• Standards work complete, now developing a testing specification

11

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF):

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.).• http://www.atis.org/esif

Industry Numbering Committee (INC): INC provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide issues associated with planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbering resources within the NANP area.• http://www.atis.org/inc/index.asp

12

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope Next Generation Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NGIIF):

The 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. • http://www.atis.org/ngiif/index.asp

13

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF):

The IIF enables the interoperability, interconnection, and implementation of IPTV systems/services by developing ATIS standards and facilitating related technical activities. This forum will place an emphasis on North American and ATIS Member Company needs in coordination with other regional and international standards development organizations.• http://www.atis.org/iif/index.asp

Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC): WTSC develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to wireless and/or mobile services and systems, including service descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC develops and recommends positions on related subjects under consideration in other North American, regional and international standards bodies. • http://www.atis.org/0160/index.asp

14

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC):

PTSC develops and recommends standards related to services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies.• http://www.atis.org/0191/index.asp

Telecom Management and Operations Committee (TMOC): TMOC develops operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning standards, and other documentation related to Operations Support System (OSS) and Network Element (NE) functions and interfaces for communications networks - with an emphasis on standards development related to U.S.A. communication networks in coordination with the development of international standards.• http://www.atis.org/0130/index.asp
