Popis: Over the last few year, operators have migrate to broadband IP infrastructures offering a broad range of rich-media content to mobile users, anywhere and anytime. Nevertheless, this is not true for the emergency communications, which until now are relying on legacy telecommunication technologies, unable to fulfill the next generation regulatory requirements. For the emergency communication platforms and services to cope with the cataclysmic changes that the 5G era is bringing along, a swift change is required in terms of incorporating mission critical IoT communications, massive machine-type communication and Gigabit mobile connectivity. In particularly, remote health care and sensor-triggered emergency communications are proposed as prominent enablers for next generation emergency platforms. In this paper a test-bed evaluation of the next generation emergency communication platform, part of the EU funded "EMYNOS" project is presented and discussed. Specifically, the study focuses on the efficiency of the SIP SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY methods across the "EMYNOS" emergency services IP network, when applied for updating the sensory data provided through an API, which handles sensor-based health monitoring data to the first responders and emergency services (i.e, ambulance, fire-brigade, police, etc.) The black-box and white-box testing reveals promising results, placing the proposed architecture among the candidates for the next generation emergency communications platforms.
