Company Information

Vienna - STRABAG Infrastructure & Safety Solutions GmbH (SISS), a 100%
subsidiary of STRABAG AG, has delivered its NGS3600 communication management
system to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to provide eCall functionality to the
country's emergency and fire response services.

eCall: emergency call triggered automatically in case of accident
The eCall service is an automatic emergency call system for vehicles that sends
an emergency call to the relevant public safety control centre when an in-
vehicle sensor detects a serious collision. The notification includes important
information such as the vehicle's location, the number of passengers and the
type of fuel to enable the emergency service team to respond more efficiently.
The system also establishes a voice connection with the vehicle to help the
rescue organisations to better assess the situation. The eCall system will be
required in all new passenger vehicles in the EU from the year 2018.

Luxembourg first EU member to receive eCall certification
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a project partner of the EU's I_HeERO project
aimed at the EU-wide implementation of eCall. The country has now completed the
conformity assessment procedure overseen by certification authority NavCert to
become the first eCall-certified EU member state. The public safety control
centre "Central des Secours d'Urgence du 112" (CSU112) is already using the
harmonised technology, which will become an obligation for the emergency service
organisations throughout the EU in the future.

Seamless integration into emergency call systems
The eCall functionality is a functional module of the NGS3600 product suite
which can be implemented with no interruption to the ongoing operations of a
public safety answering point. The NGS3600 is an integrative system platform for
the operation of emergency and conventional telephone calls, analogue radio
channels, and digital voice groups and voice signals from a variety of different
media. The innovate media and services help to complement the "classic"
information channels of the emergency call services, the fire, police and rescue
radio communications, and other sources to provide quick and secure handling by
the staff. The high degree of integration of these services into the NGS3600
makes it possible for the call operators to handle calls intuitively, quickly
and securely.

Emergency call services in Hamburg and Stuttgart to follow
Also being readied for eCall are public safety answering points which have been
or are in the process of being equipped by SISS, such as the fire response
services in Hamburg and the integrated emergency response centre SIMOS in
Stuttgart.
