The Federal Communications Commission has adopted an order aimed at helping first responders locate 911 callers in multi-story buildings. The order adopts a z-axis (i.e., vertical) location accuracy metric of plus or minus three meters relative to the handset for 80% of indoor wireless 911 calls. The vertical accuracy requirements will be phased in starting in April 2021. The Commission is also seeking comment on establishing a long-term timeline for even more stringent vertical location accuracy, including a requirement that carriers provide public safety answering points with floor level accuracy.

What our clients say
"The newsfeeds deliver us the most recent legal analysis and practical information. There seems to be a broad analysis which is beneficial to us in analyzing various areas of law. It provides a snap shot update of various legal developments and assists us in staying current. The articles are well covered and include the right amount of detail. The size and depth of articles are good too, so we can get to the information one needs very quickly. The articles are typically of high calibre and from high-calibre authors who provide sufficiently succinct articles so that one can learn much about new developments in a short amount of time. I like the format because it is easy to scan for relevant articles. It's a great tool. I like the fact you can tailor the newsfeeds by jurisdiction and work area, and only receive information relevant to your practice."
