112 vs E112 vs NG112

The difference between the number people dial, enhanced caller location, and IP-based next-generation emergency communications architecture.

112 readiness

Policy, location, routing, and response quality connected in one operational model.

112

The number citizens dial

Voice emergency access and national call handling

E112

112 with enhanced location

Caller location obligations and improved mobile/fixed location support

NG112

IP-based emergency communications

SIP/IP sessions, location-aware routing, data, RTT/video where deployed, and interoperable PSAP connectivity

Important distinction

NG112 does not replace the 112 number. Citizens continue dialing 112. NG112 modernizes the infrastructure behind emergency communications: routing, data, location, media and interoperability.
