About
ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability is organising the NG112 Plugtests™ 2026 event, in cooperation with the European Emergency Number Association (EENA) and the Sintesio Foundation, with the support of ETSI’s Technical Committee for Emergency Telecommunications (TC EMTEL). Co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), this interoperability testing event will be held from 26 to 29 May 2026 at Telekom Slovenije in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The concept of “Next Generation 112” (NG112) has been identified as a potential answer to the increasing requirements of content-rich emergency calling. The interoperability of NG112 with NG eCall products and services has not previously been tested in Europe, creating an ideal opportunity.
This Plugtests event will feature a testing campaign based on use cases developed by ETSI and EENA, providing a unique opportunity for vendors of emergency communication equipment to test their products against different implementations and scenarios.
The benefits of participation for a vendor include a chance to test early implementations in a neutral environment, to validate their understanding of next generation emergency calling requirements, and to communicate and promote the technology.
This is an event not to be missed for anyone wishing to ensure their products and implementations meet next-generation emergency calling requirements.
The goal of the NG112 Plugtests 2026 event is to validate the interoperability and conformity of a variety of solutions on the market using different scenarios and test cases. The tests will be based on the Next Generation 112 Long Term Definition document (NG112 LTD), 3GPP, ETSI, and IETF standards and are described in the ETSI NG112 interoperability test specification (ETSI TS 103 480 V1.1.1).
Next Generation Core Services (NGCS) vendors, forest guide developers, user agents, mobile app providers, and call handling vendors are welcome. In addition, government bodies, policy makers or local authorities are invited to attend as observers.
The purpose and scope of the NG112 Plugtests 2026 is to trial independently and jointly all the following tasks of the NG112 communication chain based on NG112 networks:
- Location and location-based call routing.
- Audio and video streams.
- Real-time text interoperability.
- Policy-based routing.
- LTD functional elements.
- Recording and logging.
- NG112 / NG eCall interoperability.
Please note that the NG112 Plugtests will be followed by the NG eCall Plugtests event, scheduled to take place from 1 to 5 June at the same venue, Telekom Slovenije in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Participants wishing to also attend this event are invited to register here.
First steps
REGISTRATION
All participants must register individually. Each first person from an organisation to register for the event is de facto the official contact for technical and logistics matters.
The registration deadline has been extended from 10 April to 4 May 2026.
After that date, in order to add team members, companies registered for the event are kindly asked to contact [email protected].
The event is free of charge and open to ETSI members and non-members.
Please note that at least one representative from each company is required to be on site, and due to space limitations (100 persons in total), a maximum of two participants per equipment may attend in person.
RoE and NDA
By registering for the NG112 Plugtests 2026 event, participating organisations will be asked to sign the Rules of Engagement (RoE) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), which they will receive upon registration for signature. These RoE and NDA will cover this Plugtests event.
The Non-Disclosure Agreement sets out the terms of a fair and non-discriminatory participation, i.e. vendors are free to publish their attendance to the event, and interoperability results shall be treated as confidential information.
Once the RoE and NDA have been signed by the organisation’s official contact, participants will be invited to the preparation conference calls, receive their access credentials for the NG112 Plugtests 2026 wiki and will be subscribed to the mailing list dedicated to the Plugtests event.
Participants will not be allowed to participate in the event if the RoE and NDA have not been signed by a representative of their company.
The deadline to sign the RoE and NDA has been extended from 17 April to 8 May 2026.
Rules for vendor and observer participation:
- All vendors must actively participate in the testing. “Observing” vendors are not allowed.
- Observers are allowed if they belong to Government organisations, operators, users, agencies or regulators.
- Vendors and observers must sign the RoE and NDA.
