Abstract :
A new technology is suggested for emergency services which allows immediate aid to be provided using an accurate estimate of the incident location. The user can activate the request for assistance by simply pressing a button. The technology is based on the integration of an innovative FM location technique and a smart mobile phone. The system architecture described in this paper permits both voice and data to be jointly transmitted over the same standard cellular channel without redialing
