The Federal Communications Commission is moving forward with a proposal that mobile network operators must aim to provide the location of wireless 911 callers within three meters of the handset, for 80% of wireless 911 calls in the top 25 markets by April 2021 and the top 50 markets by April 2023.
The proposal calls for a higher level of accuracy than industry players had suggested, but not as accurate as some public safety representatives wanted; and some commissioners felt that it didn’t go far enough.
