LOCUS

Location of Cellular Users for Emergency Services

Abstract

The objective of LOCUS is to provide the EC with support and expertise regarding the definition of a future Location Based Emergency Call Service (ECS) in Europe taking into account all aspects of a future implementation such as:

• user needs
• institutional issues
• technical and technological issues
• foreseen markets and
• convergence with other applications.

Public provided ECS are expected to be a market opener for commercially provided Assistance Services and Value Added Services, which will be also investigated within LOCUS.
