Description

When emergency services get a call, they need to know the caller’s location to send help and save lives. Current emergency solutions rely on cell tower location and, in some countries, on A-GNSS. A-GNSS can fail with weak signal reception in urban canyons, and especially indoors. In this presentation we will cover how Emergency Location Service in Android is delivering more accurate location to emergency services when an emergency call is detected.
