Internet Protocol–based Emergency Services

Written by international experts in the field, this book covers the standards, architecture and implementation issues related to IP–based emergency services
Internet Protocol–based Emergency Services explores the new devices and services emerging in Internet Protocol–based emergency services. Currently, these systems are organized nationally; there are currently no international standards.  However, the Internet does not respect national boundaries, and thus international standards are required.  A number of organizations have worked on these standards over the last couple of years.  This book describes how these standards work and how various standardization organizations have contributed to them. Furthermore, information about pilot projects, ongoing deployment efforts and a view of the regulatory situation is provided.
