Positioning Systems in Public Safety - Assessment of Technologies and Markets for Mobile Emergency Positioning
PracTel Inc.
This report addresses advances in localization of wireless objects in the emergency situations.
The report covers both technological and marketing issues of such a process. It consists of two major parts:
-Part I: E911/E112 services, technologies and markets. We compare here various methods to determine location of a cellular caller in emergency situations, discuss the market and services.
-Part II: Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology as an assistant to first responders in localization various objects in the emergency situations. Here, we focus on UWB as an important tool, which introduces many advanced features to first responder’s communication and radar abilities.
The service and the E911/E112 industry were born in response to growing the cellular subscriber base and inability traditional 911/112 service to support reliable caller’s identification and location. Realizing the importance of this service for people in critical situations, the governments around the world, and particular in the U.S. mandate the phase approach to redefining 911 for mobile users.
The report addresses a complex of issues associated with the technological challenges and the markets for E911/E112. It also provides information on the FCC activity in this area. We cover in this report: a. E911 technologies, services and regulations, and b. E91/E112 markets, vendors and providers. The report also contains a detailed list of terminology used in the E911/E112 world.
The report discusses issues associated with E911/E112 importance, and why the governments mandated the implementation of these emergency services. In technology sections, the report provides the analysis of various approaches to E911/E112 implementation, compares such approaches and provides their benefits and limitations. In the market sections, the analysis of the E911/E112 market is presented; portfolios of the major vendors are analyzed.
In the second part of the report, we provide the details of advantages to use UWB devices for first responders operations. Such operations very often are conducted in the areas where other localization techniques (such as GPS) are not effective. With UWB, first responders may achieve object localization with precise accuracy and with visibility through walls, doors and so on.
We conducted the analysis of these technologies and their market potentials with focus on localization applications.
The report is written for the technical, management and sale staff of organizations involved in the localization technologies development and planning. It is also useful for the vendors of equipment that can find in it techniques comparison, information on competition and the markets.
Target Audience
This report is important for the government agencies involved in the developing projects, which deal with emergency situations, particular to identify coordinates of mobile objects. It is necessary for technical departments of such agencies to have a document, which in a simple language explains the technologies and architectures of networks supporting localization. They also need to have a picture of the market with the major players and their portfolios to select the right equipment.
For vendors of the equipment, this report provides valuable information on competition. It also supports these vendors with the market assessment.
