INTEROPERABILITY
high level objectives
harmonized strategy
aligned operations
aligned procedures
knowledge
Information interop.
data model interop.
protocol interoperability
physical interoperability
organizational aspects
technical aspects
Interoperability
• Different needs – From citizens in commercial networks to FR private networks
• Interoperability levels
– Organizational – Regional/national/cross-border – Main aspects to consider
• Practices • Information Security • Legislation • OAM procedures
• Technical interoperability
– Current incompatibilities (technologies, implementations) – Backwards compatibility – Convergence
• Information Exchange
– User groups, identities, security constrains, location

Requirements and Design principles
• R1: Address different types of PMRs and citizens.
• R2: Basic and enhanced services.
• R3: Interoperability of both legacy and next generation emergency networks
• R4: Internal access to enhanced services with legacy equipment.
• R5: Ensure autonomous (per-organization) management.
• R6: Preserve Information ownership/access rights.
• R7: Easily allow trans-national/regional communications.
• R8: Enable the connection of significantly different organizations.
• R9: Allow different business models.
• R10: Integrate recording and location tracking capabilities.
• R11: Harmonize user priorities.
• R12: Not affect existing internal procedures.
• R13: Ensure efficient operation.
• R14: Permit the integration of an intermediary control room for emergency communications.
• DP1: Multi-domain ecosystem
• DP2: Standardized IP based “core network”
• DP3: Optimized technology independent operations
• DP4: Enable IP-Level Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO)
• DP5: Session Border Control-like
• DP6: Common technology independent naming and call routing.
• DP7: Avoid any assumption.
• DP8: Scalability
• DP9: Controlled access
• DP10: Orchestrate the use of resources
• DP11: Flexible multi-level dispatching .
• DP12: Rely on OAM for inter-agencies operations .
• DP13: Enable recording and location tracking mechanisms.
• DP14: Ease citizens’ access to the interoperability services.

The Over The Top proposal
• Technology agnostic
– Regardless underlying network
• IP based
• Software solution
• Cost effective and convergence enabler
• Need for harmonization!!!
– Current initiatives focused on low level IoT but… emergency services?
