SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Polaris Wireless, a pioneer in wireless location technology, announced today that Triton PCS has deployed Polaris Wireless's groundbreaking location technology across the wireless carrier's Southeast service area. Triton PCS, an award-winning provider of wireless service in the Southeast, is the first U.S. carrier to deploy the Polaris Wireless technology. Triton PCS selected the system after multi-vendor competitive evaluations.

Triton PCS has deployed the Polaris Wireless location technology across much of its service area, which spans Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, northern Georgia and northeastern Tennessee as part of its E911 solution. This deployment assists Triton PCS in meeting the Federal Communications Commission's E911 Phase II requirements in many of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) areas within the company's coverage territory. Triton PCS subscribers and roamers calling for emergency assistance in areas where PSAPs have requested E911 Phase II can be located by public safety agencies that dispatch emergency services.
