Interoperability
• Different needs
– From citizens in commercial networks to FR private networks
• Interoperability levels
– Organizational
– Regional/national/cross-border
– Main aspects to consider
• Practices
• Information Security
• Legislation
• OAM procedures
• Technical interoperability
– Current incompatibilities (technologies, implementations)
– Backwards compatibility
– Convergence
• Information Exchange
– User groups, identities, security constrains, location

Requirements and Design principles
•
•
R1: Address different types of PMRs and citizens.
R2: Basic and enhanced services.
• R3: Interoperability of both legacy and next generation emergency networks
• R4: Internal access to enhanced services with legacy equipment.
• R5: Ensure autonomous (perorganization) management.
• R6: Preserve Information ownership/access rights.
•
•
•
•
•
•
DP1: Multi-domain ecosystem
DP2: Standardized IP based “core network”
DP3: Optimized technology independent operations
DP4: Enable IP-Level Mobile Virtual
Network Operator (MVNO)
DP5: Session Border Control-like
DP6: Common technology independent naming and call routing.
•
•
• R7: Easily allow trans-national/regional communications.
R8: Enable the connection of significantly different organizations.
R9: Allow different business models.
•
•
•
•
DP7: Avoid any assumption.

The Over The Top proposal
• Technology agnostic
– Regardless underlying network
• IP based
• Software solution
• Cost effective and convergence enabler
• Need for harmonization!!!
– Current initiatives focused on
low level IoT but… emergency
services?
