In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch dives into the high-stakes world of 911 location accuracy.

He explores how emergencies were simple with landlines, complicated by cell phones and number portability, and made messier by GPS limitations.

Learn more about PNT (Position, Navigation & Timing)—the technology BEHIND precise location—why satellites can sometimes be misleading, and how local, low-cost terrestrial beacons just might be the future of location accuracy.

Plus: how the FCC’s open NOI is your chance to influence policy! Whether you’re in Public Safety or just want to be safer, this episode is for you.
