Hi gang
In 2024, Switzerland will start using NG112 (NG911) procedures to transmit the caller location via Geolocation URL via LIS Server to a PSAP.
So time to start testing this on my devel plattform. Kamailio ships with the lost module which looks promising.
In short, the Procedure is as follows:
Customer calls emergency number.
Kamailio performs a http request to our inhouse HELD server with the identification of the calling customer.
HELD server looks up the location of the caller and pushes a HELD XML object to the Swiss LIS Server, which then is queried by the emergency PSAP receiving the call. LIS server return and URL.
HELD server returns the URL to Kamailio.
Kamailio adds Geolocation Header with that URL and relays the call.
This takes some time and as the call is not yet being relayed while waiting for the held request to complete, there is no 100 trying being sent and the emergency call is bound to time out.
So, shall I call t_reply("100","Performing HELD lkup") before calling the lost module? Or is there a better way?
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
