VoltDelta participates in NG112 Communications Plugtest in Europe
(PRWEB UK) 20 March 2017 -- VoltDelta is delighted to announce our participation in the Next Generation 112 Communications Plugtests event, held on 6-10 March in Sophia-Antipolis, France and organised by ETSI and EENA.
The purpose of the event was to trial independently and jointly all components of the 112 communication chain based on NG112 networks. While the 2016 edition worked on voice and geo-localization, this year the focus was on content-rich emergency calling with existing IMS/RCS services such as video calling, instant messaging, file transfers, and more.
VoltDelta’s focus for this second plug test event was in the testing of enhanced communication channels within an overall SIP based switching environment for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). VoltDelta’s OASIS next generation solution already supports WebRTC based video and audio communication channels and, during the event, VoltDelta was able to test the interworking of both audio and video channels to other participants. Other NG112 interworking tests also explored the use of further content rich data, with OASIS receiving eHealth sensor data including temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
VoltDelta’s emergency services applications and switching solutions offer a well proven approach for any emergency call handling organisation, and this interoperability testing ensures that VoltDelta is able to offer its customers a roadmap for future NG112 support.
This has been a unique learning experience for VoltDelta. Testing our products against different scenarios has great value, but the key-outcome was the lessons we learned together with the other participants. These lessons will allow us to continue optimising our solutions to provide the best access to emergency services for people from around the world.
