Advanced Mobile Location (AML)- Background

• In US and Japan there are high accuracy emergency call positioning solution that can help rescue services locate a person in need

• In the rest of the world much less accurate positions are available (typically base station location from operators)

• Advanced Mobile Location (AML) will make it possible for the rescue services in Europe to get access to high accuracy locations from the devices in a very easy and reliable way.

This will save lives

Sony’s AML roll-out- Status

• Sony’s AML implementation is according to the AML specification published by EENA , http://www.eena.org/download.asp?item_id=165

• Trials managed in cooperation with Sony are ongoing in e.g. Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Slovenia and Belgium.

• Requests for trials in several other European countries

• Sony welcomes a Android native AML solution.

Sony’s AML roll out- Trial preparations

• The emergency call center or the operator needs to implement support for receiving AML SMS(regular SMS), and match it with incoming call and the operator reported base station position

• Sony needs to know:• Which emergency number(s) to use

• Which number should receive AML SMS

• Which operators will take part in the trial

• Sony configures the AML solution per MCC and MNC

• Operators need to secure that SMS is allowed during emergency call

• Operator and emergency service need to agree on how to handle trial calls• If possible, blacklist the test devices phone number at the emergency call center

• (Optional) The operators should allow the location SMS to be sent free of charge
