PLI CBD

PLI CBD is a system that performs signalling communication between telecommunications operators and the Location and Information Platform with the Central Database, managed by the UKE regulator. The PLI CBD platform provides information exchange between existing telecommunications operators in Poland. The location data stored in the PLI CBD enable a quick geographical location of the device and the number from which the emergency call was made. Geolocation shortens the response time of the relevant services affected by the specific event and the call by 112.

The second procedure implemented using the PLI CBD platform is to enable and automate the process of transferring the subscriber number between operators. Process automation is carried out in accordance with the requirements imposed by the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE). By the decision of the President of UKE, each telecommunications operator is obliged to connect its teleinformation system to the nationwide PLI CBD platform managed by the Office. Communication with the PLI CBD UKE system can be implemented through its own ICT solution or using the infrastructure of another operator (eg LoVo). Process automation and porting of NP numbers monitored by the Regulator have an impact on the efficiency and quality of the service provided.

The third element related to the PLI CBD platform is the organization of information on the geolocation of the numbering and the affiliation of the number to a specific operator.

The service consists in joining the Partner to the PLI CBD (referred to in Article 78 paragraph 4 of the Telecommunications Law), which makes it possible to perform the obligations set out in the above Law, i.e. to provide information on the network termination address, subscriber’s number and subscriber’s identification data to identify the location from which the call was made to the 112 emergency number. As part of the service, LoVo sets up and maintains an encrypted connection to the PLI CBD in accordance with the requirements set out in the Telecommunications Law and implements the certificates received in the process of service provision.
