Cell Phones with GPS Tracking-Enabled Technology by Cecil Rushout
Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, there has been an increased demand for improved 911 emergency calling capabilities. This demand, in turn, has resulted in better cell phone GPS tracking technology. After the events of 9/11, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released orders requiring all cell phone carriers to provide the ability to trace cell phone calls to locations within 100 meters or less.
In order to conform to these new FCC requirements, most cell phone carriers have decided to integrate GPS technology into their cell phone handsets. Many have opted for this move rather than going to the expense of overhauling the tower network.
