I have written previously about the woeful state of mobile E911, so I am happy to report that a workable technology for at least one piece of that puzzle — FirstNet, the national broadband public safety network operated by AT&T — has hit the market. Using technology from NextNav, Intrepid Networks now offers a smartphone app that will allow FirstNet responders on its Intrepid Response platform to locate users accurately (i.e., within three meters) both in terms of horizontal (x- and y- axes) as well as vertical (z-axis) location.
