Location information is crucial in the event of an emergency. NG112 architecture includes a Location Information Server (LIS) to manage this information. In view of this necessity, the Nemergent team has already made an open-source LIS available in our repository.
According to EENA NG112 Long-Term Definition, a LIS supplies the location of the users who call the emergency services. This location can be sent in the form of a PIDF-LO (location by value) or a location URI (location by reference). The LIS also provides a “dereference” service for a location URI. Other elements in the network can make use of this service to obtain the location value as a PIDF-LO. A LIS may be a database, or may be a protocol interworking function to an access network specific protocol. The following picture depicts the integration of the LIS node in the NG112 architecture.
The Nemergent LIS is built upon SIP/HTTP capable multi-purpose Kamailio server, which is in fact responsible for providing both interfaces and presence+location information. Kamailio builtin MySQL backend will be used for permanent data storage.
