Abstract: In the Fourth Report and Order (rel. Feb. 3, 2015), the Commission adopts rules that will significantly enhance the ability of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify, with improved accuracy, the location of indoor wireless 911 callers. The rules also strengthen existing E911 location accuracy requirements to improve location determine for outdoor calls as well. These actions come in response to major changes in the landscape of wireless technology and consumer usage.
