Elitnet’s Emergency Call Location Reporting solution reports mobile network subscriber location information to emergency centers on demand when an emergency call is placed. The solution uses the standard MLP protocol for reporting location information.
The solution encompasses Elitnet’s Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) which is responsible for event processing and reporting subscriber location information to third parties as well as a graphical user interface (GUI) which provides access to real-time location information, statistics, historical location information, and system configuration.
The carrier-grade solution is based on Elitnet’s Agate TAS and Dialogic SS7 Stack. It is deployed on multiple servers, ensuring the system’s high availability, and integrated with the mobile network operator’s monitoring system to ensure smooth maintenance. The solution provides the operator with complete information about all events which took place in the system, providing easier issue detection and resolution.
The solution does not perform call routing and is only responsible for providing location information for any active or recent emergency calls. The solution’s architecture enables integration with both 3G and LTE networks.
In addition to ensuring smooth communication with the emergency center, the solution allows the operator to provide third parties with standardized subscriber location information access via the MLP protocol.
KEY FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITIES
PUSH LOCATION INFORMATION REQUESTS
Once a call is made to an emergency number, the network’s SMLC sends a location report to the GMLC, which in turn processes the coordinates and sends them to the emergency center.
PULL LOCATION INFORMATION REQUESTS
The emergency center requests for a certain subscriber’s location by indicating their MSISDN, IMSI, or IMEI in the system’s GUI. The GMLC requests for the location information, processes it, and provides it to the emergency center.
GRAPHICAL USER
INTERFACE
The solution features a GUI with role-based access and multiple levels of authorization. Users can configure the system, browse the emergency call list, receive detailed call information, manage CellID information, and handle other tasks.
