The 911 National Emergency Address Database LLC, an independent entity established by CTIA, announced a major step toward helping first responders locate wireless 9-1-1 callers more accurately indoors by selecting West’s Safety Services to develop and operate the NEAD Platform. “The NEAD is a critical element of the wireless industry’s efforts to enhance our country’s emergency 9-1-1 services,” said CTIA Senior Vice President Thomas Sawanobori. “Our partnerships with West and ATIS to operate the NEAD will enable wireless carriers to provide 9-1-1 call centers and first responders with dispatchable location information that will help save lives while reflecting Americans’ preference for wireless capabilities.”
