About
ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability is organising, in cooperation with the European Emergency Number Association (EENA), the Sintesio Foundation, and with the support of the ETSI’s Technical Committee for Mobile Standards Group (MSG) the NG eCall Plugtests™ 2026 event.
Co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), this interoperability testing event will be held from 1 to 5 June 2026 at Telekom Slovenije in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Recent amendments to Delegated Regulations (EU) No 305/2013 and (EU) 2015/758 require deployment of NG eCall equipment from 1 January 2026. This event will allow verification of the interoperability between the different components that constitute the European Next Generation Emergency Communication architecture.
The NG eCall testing event aims at increasing the level of interoperability between IVS (In-Vehicle System) and PSAP (Public Service Answering Point) to provide the NG eCall service via a packet switched wireless communications network using IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia System) and 4G wireless access.
Testing will focus on interoperability of the Next Generation eCall over 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) between the In-Vehicle Systems (IVS) and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP), supporting the Next Generation eCall.
Testing will be based on the ETSI TS 103 683 (NG eCall: HLAP Interoperability Testing). NG eCall conformance tests, based on EN 17240:2024, as well as other testing activities can be provided by participating companies to complement the interoperability tests.
The event will allow to run interoperability testing for advanced emergency services scenarios, giving the priority to provide ‘real’ infrastructure from European mobile network operators, especially an actual 4G network instead of a simulated one. It will help enrich the testing by bringing real use case scenario and move on to the next steps for vendors to deploy the next generation of a European Emergency Services network. This is why Telekom Slovenije will host the event and provide a real mobile network infrastructure for the testing.
In Vehicle System (IVS) and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) vendors are invited to join the event. The NG eCall Plugtests 2026 event offers the opportunity for vendors to run interoperability test sessions using predefined test descriptions.
Please note that the NG112 Plugtests 2026 event will be held from 26 to 29 May, the week before the NG eCall Plugtests 2026 event at the same venue, Telekom Slovenije in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Participants wishing to also attend this event are invited to register here.
