Highlights (2)
Citizen-to-Authority (E911)
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)
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 [gatewayto-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 ETS for NGN and VoIP and Data (incremental standards
and standards changes)
ETS service and security standards/recommendations in both
ATIS and ITU

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
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.)

Challenges
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, development of an interface document to the
Federal Government, and possible resulting impacts on
standards (i.e., alert aggregation, system upgrades, testing,
human behavior, etc.)
Regarding ETS, providing priority routing/processing for NGN
Services, including data services (e.g., messaging, email,
etc.), enhanced authentication, authentication assurance, and
Identity Management

Next Steps/Actions
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 Messaging to NG911)
Continue with cross-organizational coordination
and collaboration
Continue with Emergency Services Coordination
Workshops (Citizen-to-Authority)
Participate in Government CMAS Stakeholder
Forum

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

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

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF): The
mission of ESIF is to provide a forum to facilitate the identification
and resolution of technical and/or operational issues related to the
interconnection of wireline, wireless, cable, satellites, Internet and
emergency services networks.
http://www.atis.org/esif
Industry Numbering Committee (INC): INC is a standing
committee of the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry
Solutions (ATIS) that 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
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.

Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
Network Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NIIF):
NIIF provides an open forum to encourage the discussion and
resolution, on a voluntary basis, of industry-wide issues
associated with telecommunications network interconnection
and interoperability which involve network architecture,
management, testing and operations and facilitates the
exchange of information concerning these topics.
http://www.atis.org/niif/index.asp
Network Performance, Reliability, & QoS Committee
(PRQC): PRQC Develops and recommends standards related to
the performance, reliability, and associated security aspects of
communications networks, as well as the processing of voice,
audio, data, image, and video signals, and their multimedia
integration.
