THE OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
                         PRESENTS A TUTORIAL ON
           "WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND ENHANCED 911 SERVICES"

The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Office of
Engineering and Technology will
present a tutorial on "Wireless Communications and Enhanced 911
Service" on March 24th, at
1:00 p.m. in the Commission Meeting Room, Room 856, at 1919 M
Street N.W.  The tutorial
will be given by William Stanton of the National Emergency Number
Association, Philip
Petersen of Motorola, and Peter Reed of Pacific Bell.

In the "Second Report and Order" in General Docket 90-314,
adopted September 23, 1993, the
Commission responded to petitions from the National Emergency
Number Association and the
Association of Public Safety Communications Officials by urging
the parties to address the issue
of locating a caller from a wireless telephone to 911 emergency
services.  The purpose of this
tutorial is to provide a forum for the representatives to the 911
service providers, the
manufacturers and the telephone companies to address the problems
associated with wireless
services and 911.

William Stanton will describe what 911 service entails, what the
problems of 911 services are
with respect to location of the calling party, and what 911
service prividers would like to have
from wireless communications systems.  Philip Petersen will
outline the byplay between
economics and the provision of services in wireless
communications.  Peter Reed will describe
the parameters of what technologies can provide to the problem of
location in wireless contacts
with 911.

William E. Stanton spent 40 years with Ohio Bell and its
successor Ameritech.  He was
instrumental in bringing Ohio into the 911 environment while
serving as Product manager for
Ohio Bell.  He has been the Executive Director of NENA for the
past five years.

Philip C. Petersen is Manager of Market Research-Personal
Communications Services at
Motorola's General Systems Sector in Chicago.  He will chair the
National Electronics
Consortium's TecForum on the "Challenges of Implementing and
Optimizing PCS" in June.

Peter W. Reed is a member of the Pacific Bell technical staff
where he is the 911 system
integrator.  He has served as a member of the FCC's Network
Reliability Council 911 Focus
Group and is actively working with NENA and APCO to develop
standards for 911 service over
wireless communications networks.

The public is invited to attend, there will be no
pre-registration or reservations.  Please direct
