The European Commission has adopted this week a new delegated regulation on eCall equipment in PSAPs.
The legislation amends the 2013 delegated regulation which established specifications for upgrading the PSAP infrastructure required to handle eCalls with newer versions of relevant standards (EN16072:2022; EN16062:2023; EN17184/2022; EN15722:2020; EN16454:2023; CEN/TS 17240:2018).
These pave the way for the transition from eCall working over circuit-switched cellular networks (2G/3G) to packet-switched communication networks. The legislation also intends to make sure that the processing of personal data in the context of eCall is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
