EESTI TELEKOM

ANNOUNCEMENT



MPS SERVICE PRESENTED



Today Eesti Mobiiltelefon Ltd, Ericsson Eesti Ltd and the 

Rescue Service will present an MPS service 

(Mobile Positioning System) pilot project in the Estonian market. 

This is the first and unique society-centred MPS project in the 

world, which includes co-operation between the operator company 

and the state. 



The adoption of the positioning service permits one to 

automatically determine the location of a person dialling 

the emergency number 112 from the EMT network.



The MPS service is available to all EMT clients regardless of 

their brand of mobile phone or GSM card. Unauthorised access to 

personal data is ruled out, since the process is completely 

automated and includes no human intermediation, and it is only 

possible to position those EMT telephone numbers that dial the 

number 112.



The cost of the MPS system is 12 million kroons, of which both 

EMT and Ericsson pay one fourth, and the rest 50% is financed by 

Baltic Sea IT Fond.
