Abstract:
The rise of smart devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops has led to an explosion in communications applications. Many of these applications aim to supplement existing communications services, such as providing caller and location information for emergency calls, while others seek to provide alternative communication mechanisms such as total conversation and instant messaging for example. Many of these applications already exist in limited local capacities but lack a common framework for easy interconnection. This limitation prohibits a user’s application operating in a region other than the one it was developed in and having his/her information and accurate location information passed to the PSAP serving their location. The Pan-European Mobile Emergency Application (PEMEA) architecture provides a solution to interconnect these applications.

Comments:
“The Pan-European Mobile Emergency Application (PEMEA) architecture provides the requirements and architecture for a solution to provide emergency application interconnection. It specifies the protocols and procedures enabling interoperable implementations of the architecture and provides extension points to enable new communication mechanisms as they evolve.”
