Global Positioning Emergency Service (GPES)

Enquire Forward

Specially created for mobile operators, this service uses global positioning satellites to locate precisely where an emergency mobile call is coming from. This makes it a valuable addition to your portfolio both in demonstrating your commitment to customer care and in forming the basis for the launch of other mobile location based services.

 

Using a transmitting device installed in the mobile owner's vehicle, GPES generates two calls:
  • A voice call to the emergency operator.
  • A data call that provides the geographical co-ordinates of the caller's position. It can also forward other useful information, like the make and model of the vehicle and a description and details of any known medical conditions of the usual driver.
