FCC’s Carr moves to improve 911 call location data accuracy

The Federal Communications Committee (FCC) announced on Thursday a proposal to improve the 911 service by facilitating the first respondents to find the needy callers.

The agency has proposed a new list that would review the condition that wireless service providers provide information with all 911 calls that determine the horizontal and vertical caller site within the specified accuracy thresholds, which are verified in an independent test bed. All current commissioners at the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) voted for their favor.

The Federal Communications Committee explained that although the vertical site data is useful for the first respondents to locate the connected 911 in the multi -storey buildings, the public safety authorities have expressed concerns about the level of accuracy of the vertical site data and the adequacy of the test bed.

The head of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), Brendan Car, told a statement how he spent time in the province of Verfax, Virginia, Virginia, for the fire station to better understand how the first site technology is responding to their jobs. Kar said that firefighters “emphasized the importance of 911 solutions that could help them locate both the victims and their first respondents during emergency situations.”

“Soon after that visit, the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) adopted rules that made it easier for the first respondents to find the connected to the apartments and office buildings,” Car said. “But our real experience since then shows that there are still a lot of cases when the first respondents do not get the site’s implementation information they need in emergency situations.”

Carr added that this new proposal is looking to treat this problem by building on “the previous work in the accuracy of the site to ensure that the first respondents are not received not only accurate information, but to be executed.”

Under the proposal, wireless service providers will be asked to provide vertical information to 911 communication centers measured in the height above Earth level (AGL), instead of the high -end height (HaE), to provide more executive information.

The industry test bed will be asked to verify the validity of vertical information techniques in urban, urban, suburban and rural environments – instead of the current approach to collecting performance or average performance across environments.

The proposal also will give nonwide wireless service providers and some major public safety organizations to reach test beds and allow these public safety authorities to challenges in the field of checking the health of the test family.

The suggested rules of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) also seeks to comment on ways to improve the number of wireless 911 calls that transmit website data that can be sent with the same call, in addition to improving the accuracy of the horizontal site of wireless calls 911 and the accuracy of the site to the text to 911.
