Position Location Overview
The TP3300 enables the network to determine the handset location. The location information can be used for the following purposes:
1. Support enhanced 911 services
2. Provide the user with location information
3. Provide location-based network services
The TP3300's position location feature is only available
under the following conditions:
-The phone is in digital service
_ The carrier's network supports position location features
The TP3300's position location feature is maximized when:
_ The antenna is fully extended
_ The phone is outdoors
_ The phone is not close to tall buildings
GPS Receiver
The TP3300 contains a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to assist the network in determining the position of the handset. GPS is a system of satellites orbiting the earth that provide positioning and timing information. The handset GPS receiver collects ranging information from these satellite signals and transmits this information to the network.
Enhanced 911 (E911) Wireless Services
Under the rules of the Federal Communications Commission, wireless companies are required to provide Automatic Location Identification (ALI) information that enables 911 callers to be located within 50 meters for 67% of the calls and 150 meters for 95% of the calls. The TP3300 is an ALI-capable phone designed to support 911 emergency services.

Jon, I think you've got it. <Would someone please confirm I've "got it" regarding BREW.>

QUALCOMM gives a True BREW certification after ensuring that the application is worthy of being available as a BREW service. That's why they get a share of the pie.
