The Definitive Wireless E-911 Reference Guide - 2005
Mind Commerce LLC, Aug 2005, Pages: 267
Originally published in 2004 and written by highly acclaimed location technology, applications and services expert, David H. Williams, this research has been updated by equally acclaimed P.J. Louis, formerly an executive with 9-1-1 industry leader True Position. This report has been updated in several areas with a particular emphasis on the business and technical issues, regulations, and impacts of 9-1-1 for VoIP service.
The Situation
More than 1/3 of the 190 million calls placed to Public Safety Answer Points (PSAP) are from cellular phones yet only a fraction of the United States supports phase II enhanced wireless 9-1-1 capability. Meanwhile, states have redirected funds earmarked for supporting PSAP capabilities for wireless 9-1-1 to other unrelated needs. At the same time, a deadline is looming for various mobile operators including Verizon Wireless, Nextel, and Sprint PCS to have most of their subscriber's handsets location capable (GPS-enabled). If this is not enough, about 6% of the approximately 180 million cellular users have 'cut the cord', meaning that they do not have fixed network service – they depend on mobile service for all their telecommunications needs.
Invaluable Research at a Critical Time
This report provides key wireless 911 stakeholders, including state, local, and federal public safety officers, seasoned wireless executives, technology-savvy business executives, investment firms, and the educated consumer, a guide to understand the past, present, and most importantly, the future of wireless 9-1-1. The report addresses every key dimension of wireless 9-1-1 including technologies, regulatory issues, business implications, and privacy implications. It also provides a carrier-by-carrier analysis at both the strategic level and a detailed, tactical level, providing the reader with useable information to set specific direction for his or her area(s) of responsibility.
While this research will be valuable to many in the wireless industry, this report will be of particular interest to:
- Suppliers of public safety wireless systems, positioning systems (GPS, A-GPS, E-OTD, TDOA, TOA, AOA, AFLT), and location-based services (LBS) applications and services
- Companies concerned with network and systems integration between wireless carriers, public safety answer points (PSAP), and other public safety systems
- Providers of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), GIS map data, and related information for mobile location services (MLS)
- Mobile network operators and wireless service providers such as resellers, agents, and mobile virtual network operators (MVNO)
- Companies involved with next generation networks and concerned with the implementation and operation of E-911 over VoIP networks
- Companies, agencies and government entities concerned with public safety, homeland security, and law enforcement
- Companies, agencies and government entities outside the United States that want to learn from the US wireless 911 experiences. This will be of particular value to European interests in enhancing wireless 112 emergency calling services
This report is distinct from others in that it covers all key dimensions of wireless E9-1-1, from the technologies to regulatory issues to business implications to privacy implications and much more, and covers them at both a strategic level and a detailed, tactical level that provides useable information for the several areas of responsibility.
