Why E-911?
• Two phases
• Government mandated
• Developing infrastructure
7 April 2005
Team Platinum
30
E-911 Fundamentals
1. The user places a wireless call, which transmits the caller's voice and his or her
number to the closest tower
2. The tower transmits the caller's voice signal, the wireless phone's callback
number, and the tower's ID code to a mobile switching center.
3. Notified of the emergency, the position-determining system uses GPS satellites to
find the caller's location, sending latitude/longitude location data to a location
information database.
4. The routing number alerts the local exchange carrier that the call is an emergency,
and the carrier's 911 switch decides automatically which emergency call center is
appropriate and assigns the call.
5. At the appropriate emergency call center, an operator receives the 911 voice call.
6. The operator dispatches emergency response team to save the day.

E-911 Phases
Currently
911 systems can report the telephone number and location
for wireline phones
E911 Program: Phase I
Requires all 911 systems to receive the telephone number of
a wireless 911 caller and the location of the antenna that
received the call
E911 Program: Phase II
Requires all wireless carriers to provide precise location
information within 50-300 meters using longitude and
latitude information
