Wireless Carriers & 9-1-1 Communications Leaders Answer the Call to Improve 9-1-1 Indoor Location Accuracy
PR Newswire - 1 hr 2 mins ago
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) and National Emergency Number Association (NENA) today announced a consensus plan to meet the FCC's challenge to improve 9-1-1 indoor location accuracy. The industry has long relied on the public safety expertise at APCO and NENA to find solutions to location accuracy challenges. This agreement builds on that long-term partnership and recognizes that improved indoor location accuracy can be achieved through readily-available indoor location technologies, which will provide field responders with the information they want and need: a dispatchable location. The proposed solution harnesses the availability of Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® technologies that are already deployed and expected to expand significantly in the near term.
