With the imminent shutdown of both 2G and 3G networks within CEPT administrations in the coming 5 years, the fall back to access to 112 via 2G and 3G services will disappear relative quickly.

Therefore it’s important to have a current clear view of the existing available access to 112 via the 4G and 5G networks in each CEPT administration. And if these are available for national users, roamers and in limited state access. Additional it’s important to research if there are still technical, standardization or regulatory issues present that frustrate the proper access to 112 in one or more of these scenario’s without any fall back.

For this analysis it’s taken into account that currently PSAP’s might not be ready and some handsets are not compatible with 4G or 5G or with the current network settings. So therefor it’s needed to set in this analysis the hypothetical principles that PSAPS are ready to receive these services when there is no 2G or 3G and all handsets are compatible with 4G and 5G and the network settings. In order to assess the current state of implementations for accessing 112 via 4G and 5G or alternative via Wi-Fi in the CEPT networks.
