Industry trends and E-GNSS availability Multi-GNSS: Multi-constellation (e.g. GPS/Galileo/Glonass) is rapidly becoming the baseline. Together with other GNSS, Galileo provides: Improved accuracy Improved availability Improved time to first fix Industry ready to take advantage of Galileo: * % based on number of models available, not sales.

E-GNSS added value in E112
How can GNSS enhance E112? GNSS and A-GNSS are good candidates to ensure a precise caller location: In outdoor, GNSS (including A-GNSS) is the most accurate, especially in rural/ open sky conditions (where network based techniques may degrade because cells are fewer than in the city) Cost effective, being (mainly) handset-based and the cost of receivers now negligible Multi-constellation mass market GNSS (e.g. GPS + Galileo) provides average 5-10 meter location accuracy in the cities and less than 5 meters in rural areas (outdoor; even without assistance data)
Additional accuracy delivered by EGNOS GPS EGNOS Open Signal added value Enhanced accuracy in the position: free of charge and normally the receivers are designed to process the corrections Other services built on EGNOS: SBAS (EGNOS) Provide additional value, such as the enhanced accuracy via A-GNSS or providing protection level Source: EGNOS Portal, http://egnos-portal.gsa.europa.eu/developer-platform/egnos-toolkits
Added value of A-GNSS and EGNOS: Test results from R&D project Inclusion A-GNSS technology further improves GNSS performances A short time-to-fix, typically 12s An improved coverage (Urban and Light Indoor) A lower consumption EGNOS provides additional accuracy, down to 1.4m HTC Standalone Tracking Outdoor HTC Assisted Accuracy 5 m 1.4 m TTFF 57 s 12 s Availability 100 % 100 % EGNOS Added Value A-GNSS Added Value Light indoor Acquisition (Cold Start) Light Indoor Urban Canyon Accuracy 186.8 m 54.6 m TTFF 60 s 12 s Availability 90.5 % 100 % Accuracy - 34.3 m TTFF - 16 s Availability 0 100 % 12/05/2014 Urban canyon Courtesy of Thales from Inclusion project (Innovative LBS for Social/Public Dimension)
How can Galileo enhance E112? On top of benefits from multi-gnss, Galileo provides additional features making it the most promising GNSS system for emergency caller location: Multi-constellation Galileo in combination with other GNSS provides improved accuracy, availability and allows for a faster timeto-first-fix* Galileo Authentication Galileo is expected to be the only GNSS providing authentication to ensure the signal in space is not subject to spoofing interferences Multipath Resistant The strength of Galileo signal, together with an advanced code modulations, makes Galileo better mitigating multipath effects (especially in E5, but also E1)** Data-less signal of Galileo Using the data-less signal, Galileo allows for an enhanced indoor penetration, improved performances in urban canyon, better performances in noise measurements and improved sensitivity in A-GNSS mode *Source: Experimental Results for the Multipath Performance of Galileo Signals Transmitted by GIOVE-A Satellite, Andrew Simsky, DavidMertens, Jean-Marie Sleewaegen, Martin Hollreiser, and Massimo Crisci, Septentrio, ESA, 2008 **Source: Estimating the Time-To-First-Fix for GNSS Signals Theory and Simulation Results Marco Anghileri, Matteo Paonni, Stefan Wallner, José-Ángel Ávila- Rodríguez, Bernd Eissfeller, Institute of Geodesy and Navigation, University FAF Munich, Germany
Conclusions
Summary Galileo and EGNOS are expected to improve the caller location in E112 for following main reasons: Better performance (accuracy, availability and TTFF) at no additional costs EU-owned infrastructure under civilian control Potential synergies with ecall

The US E911 case The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) require since 2005 to deliver E911 service inc. latitude and longitude of the 911 call within specific accuracy and reliability requirements (phase II): Accuracy requirements per 67% of calls per 90% of calls Handset-based technologies (e.g. GNSS) 50 m 150 m Network-based technologies (e.g. cell phone towers) 100 m 300 m Next developments: By 2019 handset-based stringent requirements to be met for every call GNSS to become a standard technology in US phones Seamless provision of indoor-outdoor location information thanks to hybrid technologies (e.g. AFLT, network beacon, UTDOA), also providing vertical location (e.g. allowing to guessing the floor in which the distress person is) Proposal by US Federal Communications Commission on 20 February 2014 Next Generation 911 (NG 911): enabling users to transmit text, images, video and data, also by making use of VoIP technology social benefits in USA estimated to be in the range of 92$b per year!* * Up to 10,120 additional lives saved every year in USA, under the conservative hp that only 4% of emergency calls triggered would benefit of 1 minute improvement, Source: US Federal Communications Commission, 21/2/2014
