\n
\nAnother official said that the number of feature phone users are very high in UP and, therefore, a trial can't be carried out without bringing them under the purview.
\n
\nNo official came forward to explain why the absence of GPS has hit the trial programme.

\nFor the trial in UP, the government has put in place a back-end architecture so that when a user presses the panic button five calls are made to emergency number 112 and SMSes with call log details as well as geo-location of the victim are sent to police authorities.
\n
\nFamily members as well as volunteers in the vicinity of a victim also receive SMS alerts.

The roll-out of panic button has been hit by several delays. The government's original order issued in April 2016 required all mobile handset manufacturers to provide a panic button in the form of numeric key 5 or 9 or power on or off button as well as
GPS location tracking<\/a> from January 2017.
\n
\nBut the implementation was postponed because mobile manufacturers said that they had too many old phones in their inventory because of a dip in sales post-demonetisation and opposed installing GPS in non-smart phones.

国际皮肤病学会议上的外交部部长R K Shrivastava可能满足电信部长Manoj Sinha解决问题,确保顺利转出的恐慌按钮。

新德里:一个审判惊慌失措手机设备,旨在帮助女性在困境中,由于缺乏被推迟全球定位系统(GPS)设施功能手机,根据政府的来源。

审判在北方邦从1月26日开始对所有手机用户,用户的智能手机和功能手机。这个练习将会为其铺平了道路pan-India实现今年12月。

虽然政府已经命令所有强制手机制造商在2016年提供一个恐慌按钮和一个GPS设备手机帮助女性遇险,去年11月提供GPS功能手机被免除。

“电信部门曾表示,使GPS定位是功能手机的技术挑战,”一位官员的妇女和儿童发展(WCD)不愿透露姓名的说。

另一名官员说,功能手机用户的数量非常高,因此,试验无法进行而不将他们纳入范围。

没有官方提出解释为什么没有GPS试验计划。

然而,GPS服务是一个更好的方式跟踪手机用户的替代方法,如三角手机塔。

“通过卫星GPS是无处不在的。因此很容易跟踪设备的帮助下GPS在这个国家的每一个角落。细胞三角测量是可能只在移动塔存在和可以给50米的准确性。高水平的投资需要提高精度通过细胞水平三角与GPS跟踪相比,“Kuldeep辛格前电信解决纠纷和上诉法庭(TDSAT)说。

这也意味着,跟踪设备在农村地区,移动塔更少,也可以是一个挑战。

国际皮肤病学会议上的外交部部长R K Shrivastava可能满足电信部长Manoj Sinha解决问题,确保顺利转出的恐慌按钮。

据国际皮肤病学会议上的部门消息,外交部将推荐开始审判基本没有GPS手机。

的审判,政府已到位后端架构,这样当用户按下恐慌按钮5紧急号码拨打电话112和短信与通话记录的细节以及地理位置的受害者被送往警方。

家庭成员以及志愿者附近的受害者也收到短信提醒。

在通知2017年11月,美国电信功能手机制造商不受强制安装全球定位系统(GPS)在2016年订单后要求所有移动台的位置跟踪设备。

救济功能提供了手机制造商在他们抱怨安装GPS会推高这些手机的成本。

惊慌失措的推出受到一些延迟。政府在2016年4月发行的原始顺序要求所有移动手机制造商提供一个惊慌失措的形式数字键5到9或权力以及打开或关闭按钮GPS定位跟踪从2017年1月。

但是实现被推迟了,因为手机制造商说,他们有太多的旧手机库存由于蘸销售post-demonetisation和反对安装GPS在非智能手机。
