Accurate caller location in case of an emergency is one of the most significant pieces of information for emergency call takers. Caller location can have a huge impact on the safety of citizens in many ways and helps reduce response times. Table of contents AML in a nutshell Brief history EU legislation Standardisation Deployment Success stories Testimonials EENA's support Resources AML in a nutshell AML stands for Advanced Mobile Location. In the event of an emergency call, an AML-enabled smartphone (all Android and iOS devices worldwide) automatically sends accurate location information of the caller to the emergency services. This information is derived from the location data of the phone (GNSS, Wifi). AML is not an app; it does not require any action from the caller. AML is simply a protocol to transport the data (using SMS and/or HTTPS) from the smartphone to the emergency call centre. AML is ? of course ? free of charge. Emergency services are then able to receive this information in all the countries that have deployed AML. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo68Hv7zHtQ&feature=youtu.be brief history of AML AML was created by John Medland (formerly 999/112 Manager at BT) who started a trial project back in 2014. EENA quickly proposed its help to John to make sure such successful projects could be reproduced across Europe and the world. Since then, we have been working closely with public safety officials, mobile operators and smartphone operating systems providers (among others) to support standardisation and deployments. EENA has also been advocating for AML and handset-based location to find their way into EU legislation, which they did. eu legislation relevant to AML The European Electronic Communications Code? ( Directive 2018/1972/EC ) makes it mandatory for all the Member States of the European Union to make use of handset-derived location to locate people calling emergency services starting from December 2020. AML is a technology that enables the provision of such information and thus, ensures compliance with this legislation. Since March 2022, all the smartphones sold in the European single market must offer the possibility to send handset-derived location information of the caller to the emergency services. This is already the case for a large majority of smartphones, namely all Android and iOS phones. AML & standardisation ETSI TS 103 625 is a technical specification developed at European level. It provides for a complete description of the AML protocol. where is aml deployed? As of May 2023, over 30 countries worldwide have deployed AML.

"AML is an answer to one of the eternal problems in emergency services: getting the geolocation of the cellular caller that is crucial especially in country like Finland. The best innovation in ERC [Emergency Response Centre] business in a decade." "The CSI effect in call taking has all callers expecting us to know exactly where the call is originating from. AML now finally delivers on this expectation, removing the frustrating argument. from the call, that yes indeed we need them to tell us where they are. Now we can just ask them to confirm it in over 50% of the cases." “A smartphone knows your location better than your network and with introduction of AML it also knows whom to send the location in case of emergency dial. This helps us to reduce our talk time.” "Before AML we were almost blind, having this tool has definitely changed our life, it is a revolution for us!"
