“SOS Alarm welcomes the localized emergency call”
“Let the emergency services use mobile positioning to quickly find people in distress. It says parliament in a call for the government to revise the current law.”
“the Initiative is welcomed by the SOS Alarm.”
“Behind the riksdag’s call is M, KD, C, L, and SD. A majority of the defence committee points out that there is technology that allows a phone’s position will automatically be sent to an operator if you call the emergency number.”
“christian democrat member of the committee, Mikael Oscarsson, suggests that it may be important if a damsel in distress, for example, loses consciousness after having called 112.”
“– This can actually save a life, ” he says.”
“SOS Alarm welcomes the call from parliament. This is something that you have been waiting for, according to Björn Skoglund, a service provider 112 at SOS Alarm.”
” We have today a mobilpositionering that is very accurate. Technically, we have been ready for this for over a year and a half, it can now finally be given the legal support is great, ” he says to TT.”
“Despite the rise of mobile all the benefits, the transition from fixed telephony in the last 20 years has meant major challenges for emergency services.”
“– When people used the landline, it meant that we always got a fixed address associated with the alarm. Today, when 85 per cent of calls coming from cell phones, we don’t get it, ” says Skoglund.”
“– To be able to use your phone’s positioning would have meant that we would often be able to find that need help faster, he continues.”
“HH: Are there any dangers to relying on the phone’s positioning?”
” We will test it before we start. But from previous tests we have done, so it has basically worked like clockwork. It is when the phone does not have a clear term against a network that it can work well, such as underground or in a basement. But in the places where it is often difficult to orient themselves in the woods or at sea, then it is an incredible help.”
