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 standardisation and regulatory processes relating to routing and 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.

Professor Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA Henning Schulzrinne has worked on Internet-based emergency calling since 2001, and has helped design the overall emergency calling architecture, the service URN mechanism and the PSAP mapping protocol (LoST). Prior to that, he was a long-term participant in the IETF VoIP-related standardization process, starting with RTP and continuing with VoIP signaling (SIP). Henning currently teaches networking and related subjects at Columbia University. He has published numerous journal and conference articles, as well as two books. Henning is a Fellow of the IEEE. 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.
