Harmonised relay services The work of STF 325 A project funded by ETSI and the European Union W J Mellors C.Eng
The Team • Wally Mellors - STF leader • Gunnar Hellström • Juan Calero González STF 325 "Relay Services"
This presentation • Will describe the problem • Set out the aims of the work • Report progress • Make a call for help STF 325 "Relay Services"
The Problem • Many users are unable to use ordinary telephones because of their inability to hear and/or speak • They can use some form of textphone or total communication to “talk” or sign to one another • They cannot communicate with users of ordinary telephones • Some form of conversion service is therefore required • These services are known as Relay Services • Harmonisation of these services will improve European wide communication for all STF 325 "Relay Services"
Present Aims • In 2000, TC HF produced TR 101 806 giving guidelines for relay services • The aim of the present work is to convert this report to an ETSI standard • A standard will not be accepted and used unless it is realistic and achievable • This will need co-operation from all current relay service providers STF 325 "Relay Services"
Progress • Much has changed since the year 2000 • New systems are available • Updating will be necessary • But mandatory requirements must be currently achievable • All will be explored with current service providers STF 325 "Relay Services"
