Polaris Wireless, the leader in high accuracy, software-based location systems, today announced that Union Telephone, Cellular One of N.E. Arizona, and SimmetryPCS have deployed Polaris Wireless' Wireless Location Signatures (WLS) technology to meet the Federal Communications Commission's E911 Phase II compliance requirements. Polaris Wireless' solution is now deployed across 39 out of the 50 United States and by top tier wireless service providers including the U.S.'s largest GSM operator and T-Mobile USA.

"Our customers expect fast, accurate emergency response," said Craig Freeman, General Manager of SimmetryPCS. "After extensive research, SimmetryPCS chose the Polaris Wireless WLS software-based solution network over other hardware based solutions because it provided the industry's highest location accuracy with the greatest reliability and at lowest cost of ownership for our GSM network."

"After researching other Phase II E911 providers, Cellular One of NE AZ chose Polaris Wireless due to its commitment to carriers to provide a state of the art product," said Carl Wibel at Cellular One of NE AZ. Our valued partnership with Polaris has been positive since our initial contact and continues with our Phase II solution. This commitment will provide our rural customers with the accuracy and quick response they require for E911 services."
