Public Safety

An accident or other life-threatening event can happen any time, anywhere, which is why mobile phones have become indispensable in emergency situations.

Response time is especially critical in the “Golden Hour” — the first hour after an accident or the onset of acute illness. A patient’s chances of survival are greatly improved if emergency care begins within the golden hour. Meaning that it is absolutely critical to locate them quickly and accurately — regardless of where they are or what type of mobile device they may be using.

Driven by this critical need, governments around the world are currently considering the implementation of a universal emergency services system that will quickly provide the location of wireless callers to first responders. In the United States, this system, called Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) is already in place. Powered by the TruePosition Emergency Call Location solution, E9-1-1 is being used as a blueprint by emergency service providers worldwide.

Processing more than five million 9-1-1 calls every month across a coverage area that protects more than 100 million citizens, the TruePosition Emergency Call Location solution automatically calculates the precise location of wireless callers, and delivers the location information to first responder dispatchers.

Only TruePosition has the experience and superior location platform to provide this type of carrier-grade, scalable, emergency call location solution. Working together with mobile network operators and governments, TruePosition is helping to protect citizens and save lives.
