E911 Headaches

Wireless operators are saying that they will not be able to meet the FCC's stringent guidelines for E911 in time. Here's an interesting article on the subject from the November 20th issue of Telephony Mag. An excerpt follows from the article,

"E911 headaches" by Lynnette Luna:

[Wireless Operator] Cingular has chosen to deploy handset-based technology within its GSM footprint and network-based technology in its TDMA properties, primarily because of the availability of equipment. Network-based solutions use what is known as triangulation technology, while handset-based solutions require GPS chips. The FCC requires carriers using handset-based solutions to pinpoint a caller within 50 meters 57% of the time and within 150 meters 97% of the time. Network-based technology must locate a caller within 100 meters 67% of the time and within 300 meters 90% of the time.
