GSC16-PLEN-65
• ATIS created an Interim Non-Voice
Emergency Services (INES) Incubator to
identify interim solution(s) for text-based
wireless communications to existing 9-1-1
services as an alternative to the text
telephone system (TTY) while Next
Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) solutions are
under development.

Highlights (4)
GSC16-PLEN-65
• ATIS is a member of the FCC’s third Communications Security,
Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC)
– Provides recommendations and critical input to the FCC to ensure
optimal security and reliability of communications systems, including
telecommunications, media, and public safety
– Multiple Working Groups (WGs) established to address a wide array of
topics
•
•
•
•
•
E9-1-1
Location
9-1-1 Prioritization
Security
Etc.
– ATIS has representation in CSRIC WGs, as many align with existing
ATIS work plans and deliverables
• ATIS is a member of the FCC’s Emergency Access Advisory
Committee (EAAC)
– Makes recommendations to the FCC regarding policies and practices
for the purpose of achieving equal access to emergency services by
individuals with disabilities, as a part of the migration to a national
Internet protocol-enabled emergency network, also known as NG911

Strategic Direction
GSC16-PLEN-65
• 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
• Provide guidance to the FCC on its NG9-1-1 and
MMES to NG9-1-1 rulemaking efforts.
• 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
GSC16-PLEN-65
• 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 E9-1-1, the NG9-1-1 standards can get far ahead of
deployments given that there are 6,000+ PSAPs in the United
States and there are generally different deployment timeframes
– Messaging to NG911 is receiving significant interest
• Regarding MMES, anticipate the requirements of both users with
special needs and the general public, develop a reliable solution that
does not have the limitations of SMS, and define the interface to the
PSAPs
• Regarding ETS, providing priority routing/processing for NGN
Services, including data services (e.g., messaging, email, etc.),
enhanced authentication, authentication assurance, security and
Identity Management

Next Steps/Actions
GSC16-PLEN-65
• Continue to proactively support Public Safety stakeholder
needs
• Continue supporting DHS/NCS ETS service requirements
• Continue with cross-organizational coordination and
collaboration
• Participate in Government Advisory Committees
• Collaborate with DHS/FEMA on future updates and
releases related to CMAS

Summary of General Activity
• Citizen-to-Authority (E911, NOVES)
– 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)
– Non-Voice Emergency Services for those with special needs and for the
general public
• 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 [gateway-togateway] 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 supporting ETS for NGN VoIP and Data services
• NGN/IMS Core Network Requirements
• Wireline Access Network Requirements
• ETS service description (including End-to-end call flows),
authentication, and security standards/recommendations
• Gap requirements brought to the IETF and 3GPP, where appropriate
