Hilsenrath Commends FCC on Re-Affirming E-911 Implementation Date Of October 2001
SAN RAMON, Calif., Sep 12, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- U.S. Wireless Corp.
(Nasdaq: USWC; Frankfurt: USP) chairman and chief executive officer Oliver
Hilsenrath today commended the Federal Communications Commission for staying the
course on its mandate that all the critical elements of its "phase II"
deployment requirements for wireless E-911 be implemented by October 1, 2001.
In its "fourth memorandum opinion and order," issued September 8, 2000, the FCC
affirmed all of the critical elements of its phase II deployment requirements of
its wireless enhanced 911 (E-911) rules, while making certain minor adjustments
to simplify and clarify its wireless E-911 rules.
In the order, the FCC acknowledged the availability of automatic location
information solutions that offer wireless carriers a reasonable prospect for
compliance with its E-911 phase II requirements. The order cited successful
field trials of automatic location information technologies, including the State
of Montana's field trial of U.S. Wireless' Location Pattern Matching technology
and the company's trial of its network-based Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA) location network in Baltimore.
Mr. Hilsenrath said, "The FCC has recognized the importance of public safety and
the responsibility of the E-911 industry. We commend the FCC in remaining
steadfast in its deadline of October 1, 2001 and their recognition that wireless
caller location technology is available today that can save lives."
Hilsenrath also said, "U.S. Wireless is building a national wireless location
network that will enable wireless carriers to provide emergency caller location,
which will save lives as well as property, speeding emergency response to
critical situations such as medical emergencies."
U.S. Wireless Corp.'s caller-location system, the RadioCamera(TM) system, is a
network-based solution that uses U.S. Wireless' proprietary Location Pattern
Matching(TM) (LPM) technology. The RadioCamera system locates and tracks
wireless callers, and can thereby enable wireless carriers to comply with Phase
II of the Commission's "E-911 Mandate." The RadioCamera system and Location
Pattern Matching technology does not rely on triangulation, and is able to
locate wireless callers from a single point of reference or base station.
The RadioCamera system' network-based technology works with any wireless
standard (analog and digital), and provides universal coverage to all
subscribers, including "roamers." The RadioCamera system is also compatible with
any wireless device and does not require the costly replacement of existing
cellular phones.
The RadioCamera system's Location Pattern Matching technology overcomes
challenges associated with locating wireless callers in urban environments,
where line of sight between the wireless subscriber and multiple cell sites or
satellites may be obstructed, and in rural environments, where a sufficient
number of cell sites may not be optimally located to perform triangulation. From
a single point of reference or cell site, RadioCamera(TM) technology is able to
form a direct correlation between radio frequency patterns and a caller's
geographic location, accurately locating wireless subscribers in challenging
urban and rural environments where other location technologies fail.
