The 9-1-1 Location Technologies Test Bed, LLC (Test Bed), an independent entity established by CTIA, invites vendors of location accuracy technologies to participate in vertical positioning accuracy evaluation (known as Stage Zb). The Test Bed independently evaluates the ability of wireless providers and location technology solutions vendors to meet the FCC’s indoor 9-1-1 location accuracy requirements through different technologies.
This testing round is the next step following the initial Stage Z tests conducted in 2018 and 2019. Stage Z testing focuses on emerging indoor technologies that determine the altitude, or z-axis, of a 9-1-1 caller in multistory buildings.
Consistent with the FCC’s 2015 Order on Indoor Wireless 9-1-1 Location Accuracy, CTIA established the Test Bed to independently and transparently evaluate the performance of new and existing wireless 9-1-1 location information technologies.
The vertical location test campaign is scheduled to begin in September 2020.
