Independent review of Wireless location accuracy is the only way to ensure that Wireless callers are receiving the same high quality of service that Wireline users are now receiving. Location accuracy testing provided by RCC gives the PSAP and other public safety managers the essential, objective analysis they need to be confident in their service delivery quality.

RCC's Wireless Location Accuracy Testing is based on the Federal Communication Commission's OET-71 Standards and establishes an accurate ground truth reference with a high accuracy differential GPS. RCC performs tests of randomly selected points across the actual operating environs and conditions of the PSAP and local first responders. The end to end design of the RCC's methodology allows for a comprehensive test from cell phone to PSAP.

RCC Wireless Location Accuracy Testing software establishes the position of the test vehicle and directs the test team to each randomly generated test location. Coordinate samples are collected from each test location at a rate of one every three seconds. Time is the reference used to compare the ground truth samples established in the RCC Wireless Location Accuracy Testing software against the location determination method used by the Wireless carrier.

The RCC Wireless Location Accuracy Testing software determines the number of statistically significant sample test locations within the test area. To ensure the highest level of accuracy in each test, the software determines the optimal number of samples taken at each test location based on a statistical confidence level of 95%.
