2 INTRODUCTION
2.1
Project Aim
The aim of the OASIS project (Ref:. OASIS Technical Annex [AD01]) is to define and develop
a first version of an open, flexible and generic Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) Crisis Management System (CMS) in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of
all agencies within the European Union who are likely to be involved in Disaster and Emergency
Management (DEM) and Disaster and Emergency Operations (DEO).
OASIS shall be capable of supporting the whole spectrum of DEOs, from large-scale national
and cross-border crises, regional disasters down to local-scale incidents. In all cases,
collaboration between a variety of different organisations and units is envisaged which may
include Central Government at one end of the spectrum down to local people and support groups
at the other end of the scale.
2.2
Project Objective
The objectives of the project are to provide an interoperable system that will:
• Allow all the agencies involved in the management of a DEO to communicate with each other
in an effective and efficient manner. The interoperability will be ensured between, and
within, all the national Civil Protections organisations, and with the legacy systems. The
overall information security will be guaranteed between the system users,
• Provide an up-to-date record of the availability and deployment of all resources,
• Store data, internally, that might be of use in managing future DEOs including lessons
identified,
• Give immediate access to data stored externally that might be of use in managing a DEO
effectively including current legislation and regulation
• Provide situational awareness through the continuous production, in 'real time', of an accurate
and consistent picture
• Provide information that will assist decision-makers in making 'real time' decisions
• Store information in such a way that it can be easily extracted to allow dissemination during a
DEO and a proper evaluation to be carried out at the conclusion of a DEO.
2.3
Overview of This Report
The collection of assets targeting the communication part of OASIS is based on know how and
objectives of the project and has been made based on the User and System requirements.
The proposal of assets will be updated depending on the process of our work and technology
requirements that will be found during the typology phase and system design phase.
2.4
Overview of SP2 Scope
The communication and information solutions follow the principles of a service- oriented
architecture. The service concept means that the functions of a communication, information or
management system are made available as services that can be accessed by any authorized user,
mobile or stationary. Which services to be made available does not have to be predetermined but
can be adapted according to the needs in the current situation.

Communication: Inventory of
existing components and State-ofthe-Art
Commercial infrastructure technology and legacy public communication networks, (e.g.
PSTN, 2G, 3G) and Radio Links, Satellite networks, constitute the basis for the OASIS
infrastructure. Networks for communities, agencies and other organizations such as private
networks can also be utilized. The infrastructure contains services and functionality in the
security and network management areas that are used to make the solutions qualified for OASIS
operations.
The Oasis core communication are based on IP network and gives possibility to use services
from IP Multimedia Subsystem such as VoIP, Voice Conferencing, push-to-talk, video, video
conferencing, instant messaging and other services based on IP communication.
The purpose of the information services is to enable any authorized internal user, or trusted
external partner, to access relevant information from a diversity of distributed sources, regardless
of where they are located. Information services can provide information about a situation to
handle as well as about status, location etc. of the own resources. Operation management
services are aimed at the process of turning this information into coordinated activities.
The communication and information solutions are characterized by being secure and robust,
allowing interoperability with external users, integration of existing and new systems,
evolutionary growth and situation adaptation.
The overall aim of SP2 is to provide the communications infrastructure and the communications
sub-system for the OASIS system. This needs to enable a number of key communication
capabilities that are supported by a range of communication services. For the former the prime
importance is interoperability between integrated multi-technology access networks connected to
a common core IP network, ensuring quality of service, security and mobility. For the latter SP2
needs to include the provision of, and access to, services such as voice, data, location and
communications management.
The following picture shows a proposal and overview of the Oasis Network module layout. The
modules indicate which type of assets that could be appropriate in the implementation of the
network.

The Oasis communication solution are divided into two areas: OASIS-WAN and OASIS-LAN.
The OASIS-WAN part is about interfacing a site to the WAN over legacy networks. The
OASIS-LAN should be perceived as a private domain, where selected services are exposed to
other OASIS-LAN’s.
In order to interface to the WAN the OASIS-WAN should have the following characteristics:
Act as a WAN interface (i.e. a set of interfaces to legacy communication systems), behave like a
Router and protect the OASIS-LAN from intrusion. In the figure above, following modules are
suggested:
WAN Interface consisting of:
§ PSTN interface:
Connection to legacy telecommunication systems (Stationary telephony as well as
mobile telephony). The network connection could be done via an ISDN/E1
interface or usual telephone- line/Modem. The logical (peer-to-peer) connection
could be done end-to-end, via an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or bridged over
several different underlying communication networks, where PSTN is the first
network in the chain. The network shall be built on the Internet Protocol.

(Asset suggestion: Standard Router Interfaces)
§ Satcom Interface
Connection over Satellite Communication System.
The logical (peer-to-peer) connection could be done end-to-end, via an ISP
(Internet Service Provider) or bridged over several different underlying
communication networks, where Satcom is the first network in the chain. The
network shall be built on the Internet Protocol.
(Asset suggestion: The satellite part of “Autonomous GSM Satellite System
Trailer )
§ Radio Link
Implementation of Radio Link system is mostly hidden, and could be seen as part
of an IP (WAN/LAN) network, i.e. from the interface point of view, the radio link
looks like an IP interface.
(Asset suggestion: Optional for POS1 (MiniLink, EriTac, …) )
§ Ethernet (See Wide Area Ethernet in picture)
(Asset suggestion: Cable (Private IP connection))
§ Internet (See Wide Area Intranet in picture)
Connection to other trusted networks (IP- based).
(Asset suggestion: Internet service - ADSL)
§ Wide Area Ad hoc.
Connection over Wide Area Ad hoc network.
Implementation of a Wide Area Ad hoc is mostly hidden, and could be seen as
part of an IP (WAN/LAN) network.
(Asset suggestion: BAES system node)
§ Routing module & Fire wall
A routing mechanism should be used here, for choosing the right network and
pathway.
The WAN interface part should be protected from intrusion by a Firewall.
(Asset suggestion: Standard)
§ Secure Gateway (SGW)
The connection to the private network (the LAN part) should contain a high
intrusion and security protection. The design could be based of encryption and
VPN technology.
LAN:
The LAN part is the private domain, and is supposed to aggregate and encapsulate underlying
legacy communication networks and expose services that should be seen outside the private
domain.

EANS - Ericsson Alarm Notification Solution (Part of CoordCom product portfolio)
Date of Entry: 21-02-05
Short Description
Ericsson Alarm Notification Solution provides various Alarm services based on IP and ISDN communication. The system
handles numerous protocol families of different kinds such as DTMF, OVLS, MTPT and SIA.
Step by step
Receive messages such as alarm or service information via PSTN network or IP/SMS.
Conduct sender analysis. The ISDN service conducts a full A and B analysis, where A represents the sender’s
telephone number and B is the number they called.
Verify the sender’s authorization.
Determine which protocol to use.
The protocol communicates with the receiver and automatically confirms that the information was transmitted correctly.
When receiving an alarm with speech, the ISDN service transmits information about the alarm as well as the sender’s
telephone number to the performing service. The IP/SMS service treats the signal as a combined SMS and GSM
message, and transmits the sender’s GSM number along with the alarm information to the performing service. No
matter which service you choose, a recorded voice will instruct the sender of what actions to take.
The information in the protocol is mapped out, in order to form an operation scheme. This tells the service center about
the main path and all alternative paths to the performing services.
The transmission is terminated when the core message has been correctly received by the performing service.
Key Features /
Main Characteristics
Management of incoming alarms, over different communications medias:
Example:
PSTN - ISDN
X.25
