The PsapSimulator Application

The PsapSimulator application is a test program. The intended uses of this application are:

  1. Assist in interoperability testing of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet) functional elements that deliver NG9-1-1 calls to NG9-1-1 capable Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).
  2. Provide a way to perform integration testing of the various NG9-1-1 interfaces that have been implemented in the SipLib, Ng911Lib, EidoLib and Ng911CadIfLib open source class libraries.
  3. Provide a proof of concept implementation of the less commonly implemented interfaces specified in the most recent version of the NENA i3 Standard for Next Generation 9-1-1 Standard (NENA-STA-010.3f).

This application is a simplified PSAP call handling functional element. It is a single call taker position application that can handle multiple calls simultaneously, but the call taker can only communicate with a single caller at a time. There is no centralized PSAP call controller so functions such as automatic call distribution, call queue pickup, call takeover, barge-in, local transfers (within the same PSAP), local conferences, administrative (non-emergency, i.e. an interface to an agency�s PBX) call handling and other functions that are normally expected in a PSAP application will not be available.

The following block diagram shows the NG9-1-1 functional elements that the PsapSimulator application can interface to.
