Alexandria, VA – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International received final approval from the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) for publication of the APCO ANS 1.103.3-2022 Wireless 9-1-1 Deployment and Management of Effective Practices Guide on November 7, 2022.

The revision and redesignation of this standard provides emergency communications center management with a better understanding of the wireless 9-1-1 technology application assisting them to better manage wireless calls.

“As wireless calls continue to surpass wireline calls, the challenges related to location accuracy are in the forefront of public safety communication,” said Angela R.
