Abstract
This document revises rules applicable to wireless carriers to permit the use of handset-based solutions, or hybrid solutions that require changes both to handsets and wireless networks, in providing caller location information as part of Enhanced 911 (E911) services. These actions are intended to encourage the deployment of the best location technology for each area being served, promote competition in E911 location technology, and speed implementation of E911.
