   It uses GPS and hybrid information to locate devices within 50 meters.

   AT&T is launching location-based routing of wireless 911 calls to the   
   appropriate call centers across the US, it announced. The company says   
   it'll be the first US carrier to "quickly and more accurately identify   
   where a wireless 911 call is coming from using device GPS and hybrid   
   information." That'll allow it to route the call to the correct 911   
   call center (public safety answering point or PSAP) which can then   
   "dispatch first responders to the right location faster," it wrote.   
      
   So far, wireless 911 call routing has been based on the location of   
   cell towers, with accuracy often no better than 10 miles. The new   
   system will be able to locate a device within 50 meters of its   
   location, potentially reducing delays, particularly when a call is   
   made at PSAP border areas where state, county or city boundaries   
   overlap, AT&T said.
