example) ; and (c) handset signals reaching wireless ”base stations” (atmospheric

strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system
constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is transmitted
and over which UT Starcom has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the CDM7076’s ALI capability is to be used for
E911 purposes only.

FCC ENHANCED 911 (E911) RULES

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers to
transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic Location Identification

actual location for 95 percent of calls.
