Charter (2/3) There are, however, Internet technologies available to describe location and to manage call routing. This working group will describe when these may be appropriate and how they may be used. Explicitly outside the scope of this group is the question of pre-emption or prioritization of emergency services traffic. This group is considering emergency services calls which might be made by any user of the PSTN or Internet, as opposed to government or military services that may impose very different authentication and routing requirements. The group will show how the availability of location data and call routing information at different steps in session setup would enable communication between a user and a relevant emergency response center. Though the term "call routing" is used, it should be understood that some of the mechanisms which will be described might be used to enable other types of media streams. Video and text messaging, for example, might be used to request emergency services. |
