Follow on Google News | Start of the Project REACH112 - Responding to all citizens needing helpREACH112 is partially funded by European Commission. It will deploy a text/voice/video communication solution to allow people to communicate through these means, providing access to the emergency services.
By: e-ISOTIS “REACH112 will test innovative solutions to ensure that 112 can be reached by every citizen all over the European Union and set the guidelines for the take-up of new communication technologies by EU emergency services”, commented Olivier Paul-Morandini, president and founder of the European Emergency Number Association. Users will also be able to call each other in video, voice and text via the Internet, across national boundaries. It will also allow sign language users to communicate through remote interpreting services, and via other relay services, using text to talk to voice users. “The REACH 112 project initiative will provide modes of communication to find a way to communicate in each situation, may it be with a live real-time text conversation, with sign language, with lip reading, with voice or with any simultaneous combination of these modes. This will also be a major step ahead for persons with disabilities in the equality to access emergency services in a society designed for all”, concluded Carlotta Besozzi, Director of the European Disability Forum (EDF) and adviser to the project.
