The FCC is preparing to vote on an inquiry aimed at exploring alternatives to GPS technology, as noted by Chair Brendan Carr. He warns that while GPS is essential, it is not foolproof and its disruptions could threaten national security and economic stability. Additionally, the FCC plans to discuss two proposals that aim to enhance 911 technology, which includes improving the resilience and accuracy of emergency responses through updates to Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems and 911 location accuracy regulations. These initiatives are part of the agenda for the upcoming open meeting on March 27th.
