112 IMPLEMENTATION
PSAP functionality is widely distributed and separate from the Emergency Control Centre functionality, and sits at the edge of the public network. In this case the network between the PSAP and the Emergency Control Centre is shown as a dedicated priority network, though physically there are today many ways that this could be achieved; e.g. by Leased Lines or Secure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
