Supporting Emergency Calls in Disaster Situations

Disasters always hit the headlines – however, it's important they don't hit the headlines through critical national infrastructure failure caused by the disaster. VoIP infrastructures have a key security role to play in disaster situations, as shown in 9/11, 7/7 in London and the New Orleans flooding - the Internet survived better than the phone systems. Infrastructure is required to be resilient and continue to offer service under extreme failure conditions and also identify and deliver emergency calls and permit key workers to communicate. We examine the standards work in this area and look at current resilience and call prioritization methods.

UK Interconnect Regulation and LI

Legislation in the UK and across Europe varies in the mandatory requirements that Lawful Interception places on VoIP service providers. Standardization of VoIP Interconnect in the UK by the NICC brings with it implications for Interception of traffic at network borders. What are these implications? How is this reflected in the standard and how will it be achieved? What are the emerging requirements we need to be concerned with, e.g. RIPA in the UK and new FBI proposals in the US.

November 21st
