Abstract

This paper describes a proof of concept, working system that provides the indoor location of a caller who calls a Next Generation 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point using a smartphone. The paper includes descriptions of the system requirements and scope; The phone application that was developed; The location module that was developed; and the path taken by the call as it is delivered to the Public Safety Answering Point where the indoor location is displayed. The paper describes several architectures into which the modules of the service can be fit as well as plans for future development.
