Phase 2 provides which type of location data?

• A. The approximate device location.
• B. Tower location only.
• C. Exact GPS coordinates.
• D. No location data.

Answer: (A)

Phase II is about pinpointing the caller’s location with greater accuracy than the basic cell-site information in Phase I. It provides the approximate location of the wireless device as it passes through the network, which PSAPs typically receive as a general area or coordinates on a map. This data is often derived from network-based methods and may also include GPS if the device shares it, but it isn’t guaranteed to be exact; it’s an estimate rather than a perfect GPS fix. That’s why the correct choice is the approximate device location. The other options fit Phase I (tower location only), are not guaranteed to be exact GPS coordinates, or imply no location data at all, which isn’t accurate for Phase II.
