Evolving Technology Will Make Wireless 911 Calls More Accurate: AltoNova

Technology company AltoNova asked the FCC to consider advances in spatial-intelligence technologies as it develops updated rules for wireless calls and texts to 911. “New geolocation technologies developed by the special-intelligence industry are poised to make transformative changes in horizontal and vertical location of indoor wireless 911 callers and texters,” said a filing this week in docket 07-114. Enhanced-911 location technologies “about to launch will help make the Commission’s longstanding goal of broad deployment of automated dispatchable location technically feasible.”
