Cell phone tracking: Not an exact science
A distrubing piece in North Dakota online news, GrandForks.com, on the limitations of pinpointing the exact location of someone making a cell phone call. It won't be until 2005 that by law, all 911 call centers will be equiped with upgraded software needed to localise someone precisely. And trying to locate someone just by the last calls they made (not if they dialled 911) will not be as accurate. "According to cell phone companies, precise locations of non emergency calls won't be available. For instance, at Sprint, the GPS information is sent to the company only when a 911 call is made". Representatives at Verizon and Western Wireless, a company that owns and operates wireless phone systems marketed primarily under the Cellular One brand name, confirmed that the location would not be available if the call was not a 911 call". |
