There have been tremendous advances in emergency location technologies for voice calls and now, Apple is making those technologies available when users text 911 in a supported jurisdiction.<\/p><p>iOS 13 makes available precise, device-based location information through both the traditional carrier-network path, and through Apple&#8217;s own Enhanced Emergency Data service, when a user texts 911 in a jurisdiction that accepts text messages.

Because cell-sectors often span more than one 911 center&#8217;s jurisdiction, however, this arrangement can require a transfer when the center that first receives a user&#8217;s call is not the center that serves the user&#8217;s location. iOS 13 offers wireless carriers the option to enable location-based routing (LBR) for modern radio access technologies. By providing a fast HELO estimate during 911 call set-up, Apple devices can reduce the number of calls for which transfers may be required. Local 911 authorities should contact the wireless carriers serving their jurisdiction to discuss enabling location-based routing.<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt 0in;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Apple announced two new capabilities that 911 agencies should be aware of.
