AT&T launches new 911 location service, here is how it works
According to AT&T, thanks to location-based routing, it will now be able to locate a device and route it within 50 meters of its location. Without the upgrade, wireless 911 calls were routed based on the location of cell towers, which can cover up to a 10-mile radius, so the difference is astonishing.
AT&T’s upgraded 911 location service will be rolled out nationwide, but right now it’s only available Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Guam. Additional regions will be added over the next several weeks, with the nationwide rollout expected to be fully complete by the end of June.
