Trends
Market trends for commercial applications Accuracy
Visible for the end user Key for urban navigation
Quickness Key for a satisfactory end user experience Issue with “traditional GPS”
Coverage Need to cover urban areas Most applications to be used/started inside buildings
Emergency calls location to benefit entirely from such trends Accuracy, quickness and coverage are key factors to save lives Citizens will not understand to see in the same time
high performance applications available while no implementation of emergency calls location

Technologies
Very fast technological evolutions to meet challenging market trends Satellite based
WirelessNetwork
Satellite data is collected permanently
On demand assistance data is asked and sent
instantaneously
GPS measurements are done once data received
AGPS position is delivered
EGNOS GPS Assisted-GPS : better quickness, accuracy, coverage
EGNOS : accuracy, quality of service, preparing Galileo
Mobile network based Cell-Id : using cell location NMR : using network signal power measurements
Local network based : Wi-Fi
Technology Accuracy Providers References
Satellite Assisted-GPS 5 to 20 m Infra providers USA
EGNOS 3 to 10 m Thales/Alcatel Lucent Orange Fr
Network Cell-Id 100 m to 3 km Infra providers
NMR 40 to 90 m Polaris USA
Local Wi-Fi 5 m Ekahau, Airspace

Blackberry 8800
Commercial trends Cost < 10 €, allows for entry range phones required by operators for 2008 Next phones to come : Nokia, Benq, Sharp, Blackberry … Standards now mature
Therefore European E112 regulation Shall consider today commercial trends Should be determined and gradual
