Snaptrack This is from the Snaptrack web page (snaptrack.com). If this is true then I think it means a lot revenue due to a lot of wireless phones buying chips with this technology on it. ¸ 1998 SnapTrack Inc. Exceeding the Need Two-thirds of wireless phones are purchased for safety and security reasons, but wireless phones don?t have the emergency location capability of wireline phones. Wireless phones deliver 9-1-1 calls to a public safety answer point (PSAP) but provide little additional information. The FCC has issued a mandate requiring wireless carriers to provide the location of 9-1-1 calls to PSAPs by October 1, 2001. The mandate says this location information must be accurate to within 125 meters at least 67 percent of the time. The SnapTrack system far exceeds these requirements.
