AT& T today announced the launch of a new location-based emergency telephone routing system in the United States, which aims to transmit wireless 911 calls to the corresponding 911 call center according to the GPS location of the device According to at & amp; T said that this is the first national location-based routing initiative in the history of the United States. The system was launched in cooperation with intrado.
AT& T indicates that the function of locate before route will make at & amp; T can determine the source of 911 calls within 50 meters of the equipment location.
GPS based routing is an improvement on the previous 911 telephone routing. The previous 911 telephone routing depends on the location of the mobile signal tower, which can cover a radius of 10 miles, which slows down the emergency response time. As the call is directed to the appropriate 911 call center, first responders can get to the right place faster.
Now, at & amp; T has begun to launch GPS based routing systems in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Guam. In the coming weeks, it will enter other regions, and the nationwide promotion is planned to be completed by the end of June.
