Re: [802SEC] Request for Assistance from IEEE 802 - Emergency Services Location Identification
All,
I have passed Paul's message and the original inquiry along to the 802.22
reflector.
My reasoning is that in the fixed service nature of .22 the location of the
CPE (subscriber terminal) will be known.
Additionally, since VOIP is one of the target services that's envisioned to
be offered/available over the .22 "pipe," it may eventually be required to
meet E-911 location determination regulatory requirements (this might also
be extended to other systems that carry VOIP ...)
It is just a subject for consideration by the group - there is no
predetermined outcome/decision.
Just thought I'd share these thoughts with the rest of you.
