E911 (E112) Location Accuracy

Improving E911 and E112 system performance results is not only a key to saving lives with faster response times, but is a requirement from the FCC and EU. This paper focuses on latest tightening of requirements for emergency location accuracy of caller location and how implementing a more precise data collection input for RF antenna position will quickly help wireless service providers and public safety response organizations increase location accuracy of callers. Improving RF antenna position databases for network-based caller location solution will have an immediate impact on location accuracy results.

Sunsight Instruments Technical White Paper

Abstract

This technical paper describes in detail the need for ensuring that the antenna position closely matches RF design specification at installation, and to have an accurate database of antenna position data for any wireless data network. We will discuss why proper alignment of antennas used in RF (Radio Frequency) mobile networks is important–specifically for newer technologies like 4G LTE, and describe the effect of misalignment on overall network data throughput. Network operators, engineers, and contract installation professionals can use this document as reference to understand how equipment to accurately align antennas is needed to ensure QoS (Quality of Service) and meet KPI (Key Performance Indicator) goals. Network RF design engineers and performance engineers can use this document to improve the overall network data throughput, enhance overall customer satisfaction, reduce subscriber churn, and maximize return on investment in costly RF spectrum.
