One of Australia's largest carriers has implemented JSpectrum's innovative NetWhere™ platform to improve automatic positioning of Triple Zero (000) emergency callers and to comply with ACMA regulatory changes.
The passing of regulations by ACMA requiring all Australian telecommunications carriers to implement "pushed" mobile location information (MOLI) – has meant a network solution can automatically provide mobile location information available by processing relevant network signalling in real-time.
JSpectrum's NetWhere™ platform combines both passive and active tracking techniques and pushes mobile caller's location data automatically to the Emergency Services Organisation as soon as a Triple Zero (000) call is lodged. "The telecommunications provider can now determine an actual location of where the Triple Zero (000) call was initiated, rather than solely relying on the emergency operator to gain sufficient information from a distressed caller", said Charlie La Guzza.
Unlike landlines, mobile phones pose real challenges for emergency response services and telecommunications providers as they do not have one fixed location or address. The location of the mobile site closest to the 000 provides a general indication of the caller's location; however the information is not always specific enough for rescue services to deliver assistance to the caller quickly.
JSpectrum's NetWhere™ platform provides a reassuring level of comfort to the network operator's customers using or relying on a mobile phone. Successes have included young children who have been able to initiate a call for help but were unable to identify their location, as well as callers lost in remote locations where the technology, has successfully helped narrow the search areas.
JSpectrum announced Metropolis™, a new platform designed to enable mobile network operators to deploy innovative Smart City services.
Metropolis captures real-time trajectory data from the mobile network. Using state-of-the-art streaming and machine learning techniques, the platform aggregates and transform high volume, high velocity data into one of the most important capabilities of a smart city – visual analytics of population movement as it happens.
Besides capturing, storing and querying trajectory data in real time, Metropolis supports mining of trajectory patterns and models. Users can master the complexity of mobility knowledge and profiles by visual exploration.
Smart services, not just analytics: Most importantly, Metropolis supports real-time event-triggers based on predictive location and anomaly detection. This powerful smart capability will create new revenue streams from services such as smart tourism and smarter location based content and "infomercials" based on users' "lapsed locations" and current routes.
Privacy: Other important facets of Metropolis include privacy-preserving data publishing and mining techniques. The platform transforms trajectory data sets into anonymous form and support strong privacy-protection to guarantees high data utility.
Data Fusion: Integration of external data sources such as governments and public transport open data sources.
More information about Metropolis will be available in Q2 2016.
JSpectrum is pleased to have received bizsafe Level 3 Certification by the WSH Council in Singapore.
