Patching over software problems
Just as you would want to patch over a hole in your pants, you might find holes in your software that could be just as problematic and leave you with serious cyber security vulnerabilities. Patch those holes before something tears wide open.
The number of cyber attacks on industrial control systems has been increasing and the activity is visible on a global scale by site, manufacturer, and even by actual control system specific parameters. Many of those attacks are possible because of vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications, which need to be fixed using software patches. Having a sound patch management program in place will greatly reduce your risk and make you a hard target to a would-be attacker.
That sounds good, but what does it mean? What exactly is patching? According to dictionary.com, patch, in verb form means to mend, cover, or strengthen with or as if with a patch or patches. It's also a noun, meaning a piece of material used to cover or protect a wound, an injured part, etc.
In the industrial world
In control system terminology, patching indicates the process required to address a known weakness in a platform with the ability to have patches or software fixes applied. Platforms include operator interfaces, human machine interfaces (HMIs), computers, networking devices, and associated software loaded on these platforms.
Patches are typically electronic files with updated configuration information or executable processes that, when applied, correct a given weakness in the affected system. Patches are critical to the protection and security of a system and should be applied as soon as possible for many reasons. As stated above, patches address known weaknesses in a system. This should be disturbing to you as an industrial control system specialist as you do not want your weaknesses to be known. But the inherent nature of patching requires most software and hardware manufacturers to notify the public first, that there is a problem with their system or software and secondly, how to address or fix the weakness.
Since the public is informed through various means of publications including Microsoft operating system updates and antivirus definition updates that immunize systems from viruses, the bad guys have a freely available method to learn of your weaknesses. Without a proven manageable process to validate and apply patches to your systems in frequent intervals, you are exposed and at risk of having your weaknesses exploited by hackers, disgruntled employees, or worse – terrorists.
What is patch management?
Patch management is a methodical process that includes documentation, validation, backup and recovery, and a step-by-step tiered approach to the application of change on your critical systems. The core of effective patch management is the actual validation of the change to ensure the updated patches or security enhancements do not disrupt the functionality of your system. Validation should be performed in a lab or non-production environment on equipment and software that is representative of your production environment. Without this validation, you may apply patches that change security parameters of your system that could stop communication between your devices.
Upon effective validation, prior to application of patches to the actual production equipment, a sound backup and recovery or disaster recovery plan should be in place to backup your device information and configuration. As discussed, patches actually change your system or software from its original state. If the patch causes problems, you would want to restore to your previous state immediately to resume operation.
To apply patches to your production system, a strategy identifying the order that patches will be applied should be identified and documented to repeat as new patches are released. From your population, identify an early adopter or first unit that you can take off-line for the time it takes to apply the patch. Then monitor for a period of time before rolling patches out on the remainder of your devices. By taking this tiered approach – lab validation, early adopter, and remainder of devices – you are greatly reducing the risk of a change or patch causing disruption to your overall system. Any issues may be identified prior to the application of patches in a very controlled, documented, and repeatable manner.
Patching your critical industrial control systems involves the collection of known fixes or patches, validation of these changes prior to application to your system, and then methodical application of patches in a controlled manner. The more frequently you repeat this process, the more up-to-date and less vulnerable your system will be to attack. FoxGuard Solutions specializes in the process of validating changes to industrial control system devices that have patching capability. We can work with your team to identify a strategy that meets your needs while making your critical system less vulnerable to attack.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

[JURIST] The Department of Justice improperly granted preferential treatment to conservative candidates in assessing job and summer internship applications under a 2002 screening program, according to a Tuesday report [PDF text] by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General [official website]. It was found that political officials played a greater role in the department's hiring processes, supporting long-standing accusations by critics that the Bush administration sought to politicize the traditionally non-partisan department.
In 2002, many deselections were required because of budget constraints. The data showed that candidates with Democratic Party and liberal affiliations apparent on their applications were deselected at a significantly higher rate than candidates with Republican Party, conservative, or neutral affiliations. This pattern continued to exist when we compared a subset of academically highly qualified candidates from the three groups. However, we found no other evidence that the members of the Screening Committee intentionally considered political or ideological affiliations in making their deselections, and the Committee members all denied doing so. While we were unable to prove that any specific members intentionally made deselections based on these prohibited factors, the data indicated that the Committee considered political or ideological affiliations when deselecting candidates.During the next 3 years, from 2003 to 2005, the Screening Committee made few deselections, and we found no evidence that deselections were made based on political or ideological affiliations. However, we found that in 2006 the Screening Committee inappropriately used political and ideological considerations to deselect many candidates. We determined that a disproportionate number of the deselected Honors Program and SLIP candidates had liberal affiliations as compared to the candidates with conservative affiliations. This pattern was also apparent when we examined the data for membership in the liberal American Constitution Society compared to the conservative Federalist Society for SLIP candidates and when we compared applicants with Democratic Party affiliations versus Republican Party affiliations for both Honors Program and SLIP candidates. The disproportionate pattern was also apparent when we examined candidates who were highly qualified academically.

FORT PIERCE — Former St. Lucie County School District driver Albert Hazen sobbed in court as he publicly apologized for the first time for the bus crash that killed one student and injured others in March.
If he could, "I would give my life for that little boy who died ( Aaron Beauchamp, 10)" in the March 26 accident, the 57-year-old Hazen told County Judge Phillip J. Yacucci on Tuesday.
His emotions fell on sympathetic ears: several parents of students on the bus that day spoke on Hazen's behalf during the hearing about his traffic citation for failure to yield when making a turn. Hazen turned left into the path of a heavily laden sod truck.
Student, Cindy Montalvo, 10, said Hazen emphasized that riders must wear seat belts.
He even made students use soft Crayons instead of sharp, rigid pencils while riding his bus from Fort Pierce to Port St. Lucie, parents said.
At the end the 30-minute hearing, Yacucci gave Hazen the minimum required by law in a fatal accident: a $1,000 fine and a six-month license suspension.
Yacucci said the accident was very tragic, but he didn't find justification for exceeding the minimum punishment.
Hazen pleaded no contest to the traffic citation that the Florida Highway Patrol filed after investigating the accident at Okeechobee and Midway roads. The State Attorney's Office agreed with the Florida Highway Patrol's decision not to seek criminal charges.
"Based on the investigation, there was no alcohol or drugs involved, there was no texting or phone number (calling)," Assistant State Attorney Bernard Romero said earlier this year. "He (Hazen) was just inattentive."
Two Florida Highway Patrol officers at Tuesday's hearing didn't speak.
As Hazen left the courthouse in Fort Pierce, he bent to pick up a pen on the floor near the security scanners. That's because he was afraid someone would slip on the pen, his attorney, Adam Chrzan, said.
"This (the accident) broke him," Chrzan said. "He relives it" each day.
"He was not a bus driver just running around a bunch of kids," the attorney said. "It was his extended family. He treated them like they were his own," even attending some of their religious events, such as first communions, the attorney said.
Parent Eric Bartkowiak's children were on the bus at the time of the accident.
He testified that he wasn't concerned about his children riding with Hazen.
Chrzan gave the judge more than 100 letters and cards of concern and support sent to Hazen through the Frances K. Sweet Elementary School. The bus was carrying students home from that school in Fort Pierce.
Prior to coming to Florida, Hazen retired as deputy chief of a fire department in Plainfield, N.J., an agency for which he worked for 27 years. During that time, he never had an accident and worked in fire prevention, according to a letter presented in court.
"His job was protecting people," his defense attorney said.
While with the St. Lucie County School District, he was evaluated as being above expectations or exceptional, according to court records.
He is no longer employed by the School District. The School District didn't renew his contract.
"He still wants to work with kids," his attorney said. "This is a guy who found a niche that he loved, driving and taking care of them (students).
"Now he can't do that anymore," the attorney said.

Granted. However, you could always ask for their permission. I'm pretty sure that the celebrity's I listed wouldn't object to appearing in a Marvel comic if you asked them.Yes, of course, Lots of people are Marvel fans. Few are public figures we can legally use on covers.
Fair enough. That being said, I'm pretty sure that if McCain was a huge Spidey fan and was elected president that you guys wouldn't have put him on the cover of ASM.Even fewer were elected President when I was editing.
Why Wacker, I didn't know you cared.I was there, so I know what happened. You, on the other hand, live in a message board-ian fantasy world and are quite possibly a danger to yourself.
My boss (as well as my shop's manager) would be the first people to admit that I am loveable jackass. I, OTOH, proudly admit that I am an unintentionally arrogant jackass.If that "comic store" you worked in really existed, your boss would have his hands full.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Present and Future and What Should be the Role of India?
Published on
Pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and Europe are outsourcing more and more to countries like India and China to take advantage of the lower costs. These countries are inheriting the highly inefficient manufacturing technology from the West. If nothing else changes, as labor costs are going to increase in India, pharmaceutical manufacturing will likely move to countries which may provide even cheaper labor.
There are similarities between the state of pharmaceutical manufacturing and the state of the auto industry about 50-60 years ago. U.S. automakers were content in spending large sums in marketing rather than in basic science and on improvement of quality. While the Japanese companies started out by assembling foreign cars in Japan in late thirties, by the mid-fifties they started heavily investing in automation, new manufacturing technology and in quality initiatives. In this regard, the efforts of W. Edwards Demming are well known to every one. India has two choices of moving forward. India can either chose to follow the Japanese auto industry model and investing in science and technology and quality and be a leader in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing in the future. Alternatively, India can continue to rely on ancient technologies with high manual labor, high rejection rate and wastage, overbearing documentation load and heavy reliance on manual inspection. The ultimate consequences of the latter will not be good for the Indian economy or its people.
Prior to joining Purdue University in February, 2004, Dr. Basu worked in the pharmaceutical industry (Searle, Pharmacia and Pfizer) for over 20 years in various capacities in research, development, manufacturing, and outsourcing.
Prabir Basu earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and an MBA from Webster University in St. Louis, MO. Before joining Searle in 1984, Dr. Basu briefly taught Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1972 and worked for Hindustan Lever Limited, India from 1973 to 1983. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and editor of the Journal of Validation Technology and Journal of GxP Compliance.

So-SoPros: Paladin Warranty is nice. Useful having the tone & probe built-into the testers. Comes with a nice pouch. Cons: My first pair died after less than a month. Paladin replaced it, so that was good. Other Thoughts: This is a so-so network tester and tone/probe. I don't know that it's worth $80. Did you find this review helpful? |
junkPros: it does what it says it can...but barely Cons: started working in the telecom field, i went a little crazy buying tools, i can tell you if you are thinking of using this tool professionally DONT! Other Thoughts: if you plan on using this professionally do not buy it..instead buy a tone and probe, a continuity tester like an ideal linkmaster(has been rebranded a few times) which allows you to push a button and instantly see layer 1 issues. Did you find this review helpful? |
Returned within 24 hoursPros: CHEAP Cons: CHEAP Other Thoughts: Bottom line here is that the tone generator sucks... The probe has to be touching the wire to get reasonable tone and and you can barely hear it due to the volume being so low. No off button ("auto shutdown") on one section of tool of the tool means too much battery use. The line tester worked but the tone generator is useless... pass this one by Like I should have (I leaned a long time ago to not scimp on tools but I seem to have forgot this time) Did you find this review helpful? |
ToolsPros: Do exactly what they said they do. The tone feature works nice and the receiver is rather sensitive. It is nice knowing that I can see all the wires tested not just the pairs. With the bright orange color it is hard to miss them when I set them somewhere where I should have not set them. Cons: Back on the one unit seemes a little loose. Other Thoughts: After starting my job I found that I had no tools for networking. My network was a mess with no documentation. So I get to spend plenty of time with these tools. Did you find this review helpful? |
No GoodPros: It works out of the box Cons: After a decent amout of use the switches broke off inside the unit. You need a screw driver to replace the battery. The units turn themselves on everytime you place them in the storage bag because the switches stick out too far. This isn't a major issue if you always keep a spare battery. Everytime I went to use this the battery was always dead. Other Thoughts: pay a little extra and get something that will last. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works for what I need it to do.Pros: Everything needed to test network cables and even phone cables.. can tone out which wire is connected where. helps when things are not labeled, or just bundled wire mess. Cons: Does not work on energized (powered on) networks, but I knew that before I got it. So its not a major con, however I write this for those who might not research the product. Other Thoughts: I got this to help test and tone out cable for a networking job I was paid to do. Normally I don't need to make cable or run wire. so I needed something to test the cable with. Tho cheaper products do exist, I wanted something that would be useful and last awhile longer. besides its got its own nice case. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
works great!Pros: i bought this set mostly for just testing RJ45 patch cables onsite. i got this home and started testing some cables that i had and it works great for finding which pin is bad and what type of cable you have without trying to stair at the connector and go over the wires. its lets you see at a glance if the cable is a crossover etc. Cons: i dont have any yet. Did you find this review helpful? |
PerfectPros: best of both worlds, LAN cable testing plus cable tracing. Comes with Lan and Phone cable jumpers plus alligator clips. I made up my own Phone to Lan cable to trace network cables and i will do the same for cable lines (RG6) Cons: the Lan testing could be a little better, it takes a little understanding but i'd rather use this than have two devices. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works Great!Pros: Works like a charm and as always newegg was fast with delivery. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Multiaxial speakers combining design and performance to faithfully reproduce the full spectrum of sound.
Designed with the tweeter on the same axis and plane as the woofer, for flat response throughout the audio spectrum.
High quality coupled with versatile design offering custom-fit speakers for all popular passenger cars.
● TP-GF woofer cone (ULTRA SERIES)
Designed to offer max. 400 W power handling, this woofer uses a fibreglass cone with a vapour-deposited titanium coating to increase rigidity and response speed for tight bass with low distortion.
● Powerful strontium magnet for dynamic bass
Strontium magnets have a magnetic flux density that is far higher than conventional ferrite magnets, enabling reproduction of dynamic bass sounds from a relatively small voice coil.
● Rear-vented pole piece (2-WAY COMPONENT SYSTEM)
To prevent pressure from building up inside the centre cap and causing increased amplitude distortion, a vent is provided on the rear of the pole piece, resulting in smooth cone movement, which contributes to the open, airy sound of the speakers.
● TP silk dome tweeter (ULTRA SERIES)
Titanium particles have been vapour-deposited onto the pure silk dome to increase rigidity, contributing to smooth response from the mid- to high-frequency range, up to an amazing 80 kHz.
● High-grade -12dB/oct. 2-way crossover network with level attenuator (0, -3 dB) (ULTRA / PLATINUM SERIES)
This precision crossover network will enable the speakers to be flexibly installed into a variety of existing car audio systems and deliver optimum performance.
● Aluminium die-cast frame (ULTRA SERIES)
The speaker uses an aluminium die-cast frame for added stiffness, thereby minimising unwanted resonance and vibration.
In-phase coaxial structure achieves superior sound directivity.
A key component to experiencing natural sound imaging and staging is Clarion's IN-PHASE Series speaker design. The tweeter's "In-phase" placement minimises the phase differential between the woofer and tweeter, thereby preventing time lag between high and low frequency sounds for optimum sound reproduction.

WHEN coal companies don't return strip-mined mountains to something resembling their original shape, the firms are supposed to get a "variance" from state environmental officials, which requires concrete plans for improved use of the land when the coal is gone.
But reporter Ken Ward Jr. found that most active mountaintop-removal sites in the state didn't receive that variance. And even those that did get it didn't have the detailed development plans required by the 1977 federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
The U.S. Office of Surface Mining has put together a draft report essentially confirming Ward's findings.
Currently, OSM is deciding whether to grant a state request to approve "fish and wildlife habitat and recreation lands" as a post-mining use.
OSM officials need to ask a couple of questions: First, is it really a "higher and better" use to take forested mountaintops and streams - which are home to a wide variety of fish and wildlife - and flatten them to create an artificial plateau for deer, turkey and wild boars?
Second, as OSM officials stated in their draft report: "Applicants requesting variances from AOC approximate original contour ... must demonstrate that the flat or gently rolling terrain is essential to support specific post-mining land uses" (emphasis added).
We don't see how the proposed fish and wildlife designation meets either of these criteria. Wildlife biologists who talked with a Charleston Daily Mail reporter confirmed what common sense would tell most people: Reclaimed land doesn't support as wide a variety of plants and animals as the undisturbed land did before it.
Gary Sharp, a biologist with the state Division of Natural Resources said: "To say that mountaintop removal is good for wildlife, that's not true."

Adenomyosis is uterine thickening that occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, moves into the outer muscular walls of the uterus.
Endometriosis interna; Adenomyoma
The cause is unknown. Sometimes adenomyosis may cause a mass or growth within the uterus, which is called an adenomyoma.
The disease usually occurs in women older than 30 who have had children.
Note: In many cases, the woman may not have any symptoms.
During a pelvic exam, the doctor may find an soft and slightly enlarged uterus. The exam may also reveal a uterine mass or uterine tenderness.
An ultrasound of the uterus may help tell the difference between adenomyosis and other uterine tumors. MRI can be helpful when ultrasound does not give definite results.
Most women have some adenomyosis as they near menopause but few women have symptoms, and most women don't require any treatment.
In some cases, pain medicine may be needed. Birth control pills and a progesterone-containing intrauterine device (IUD) can help decrease heavy bleeding.
A hysterectomy may be necessary in women with severe symptoms.
Symptoms usually go away after menopause. A hysterectomy completely relieves symptoms.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of adenomyosis.

Talex GPS (Lite). Cannot update Data with life time subscription
Likes # 0
Posted January 28, 2013 at 4:35PM
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with the Talex Lite GPS. It seems that a number of people are involved with the product being Talex, Talex Products, Novus Systems and Novus Auto. Where do they all fit in or has someone walked away from the Free Life time Update promise. Also is there really any truth that these types of update are prone to carrying Trojans? Many thanks, Buckland.

Hi Guys
I'm the Customer Service and Database Manager for Talex, sorry its taken a day to get to you - only just spotted this!
To answer a couple of the queries:
Talex is entirely its own business, nothing to do with Novus, or any other similar products on the market. You can find out all about us at www.talex.co.uk
There have never been any reports of anything untoward in our updates, they are done in very strict conditions, using a bespoke piece of software purely to create the updates. We have many thousands of subscribers - if there was anything untoward I'm sure I'd have found out very quickly. The updates are obviously very important to our business, and something I personally take care of.
Rather than discuss individual subscription issues on here please feel free to email me directly at email@example.com where I'll be happy to look into any issues you maybe having.
Hope this helps - look forward to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards
Adam K

Van Gogh's entire collection comes alive at a multi-sensory exhibition in Tel Aviv.

Over 2,000 paintings, drawings and sketches, comprising the entirety of Vincent Van Gogh's short but prolific career are on display at "Van Gogh Alive," a multi-sensory traveling exhibition open through the end of March at The Israeli Trade Fair and Convention Center in Tel Aviv.
Piercing self-portraits of the redhead, breathtaking, colorful street scenes of Paris and sunflowers, the muted tones of Dutch fields and bare landscapes and enchanting starry nights that make-up Van Gogh's 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings, watercolors and sketches are all presented via 40 high-definition projectors on the walls and other flat surfaces in the dark hall. The works are shown around the room on a 30- minute loop that is mainly chronological but also thematic.
Photographs of Van Gogh as a child and young man with his family, as well as images of the French and Dutch cities in which he lived, churches and other buildings which he painted, are projected. On the walls, floor and columns complementing the dazzling art are excerpts from the 902 letters he wrote over 10 years to his brother, Theo Van Gogh, and friends. The letters give insight into Van Gogh's joy, dark depression and artistic development.
"I dream of painting and then I paint my dream," he wrote, projected over a vast array of scenery. "Though I'm often in the depths of misery there is still calmness and music inside of me," Van Gogh wrote during a darker period. Beside his Starry Night series, a quote reads, "I know nothing of certainty but the stars make me dream."
An incredible view is seen from any place in the room, with the mammoth and razor sharp images presented via Sensory4, which utilizes multi-channel motion graphics technology and cinema-quality surround sound for the accompanying classical music. Viewers can approach the works or stand back and take in the whole scene.
The images come alive when birds flap their wings out of the paintings and fly off the screen, or when the smoke from the cigarette in Skull of a skeleton with burning cigarette (1885-1886) wafts through the air, or his windmills spin.
A classical musical score, mainly from his period, plays alongside the paintings, timed to the loop and reflecting Van Gogh's changing moods, techniques and styles. Bathed in sound, light and color, Van Gogh Alive is a relaxing and stimulating way for all ages to experience the postimpressionist artist's story and gifts.
Van Gogh, born in the Netherlands in 1853, began his career as an artist in his late 20s, and in just over a decade, from 1881- 1890, produced his entire collection. During the last two tumultuous years of his life, before he died probably by suicide, at 37, he painted some of his most memorable and beloved oil-on-canvas works, including The Bedroom and The Starry Night, which was a view he saw from his room at an asylum in Saint-Remy-de-Provence in southern France. Van Gogh only sold one painting during his life, Red Vineyard at Arles, for 400 francs, the equivalent of $1,900 today.
Van Gogh Alive is on a world tour, arriving to Israel via Turkey, where 300,000 visitors saw the installation in Istanbul and Ankara, according to organizers. Grande Exhibitions, the creators of the exhibition, are also touring "Da Vinci – The Genius," "Secrets of Mona Lisa," "101 Inventions" and "Planet Shark."

Chairman Pryor, Ranking Member Wicker, and may it please the Committee: My name is
Since the establishment of the first official night watch at
As the mobile revolution unfolded, it presented a series of challenges to consumers, public safety agencies, and the nascent industry. Access to 9-1-1, call-back capability to deal with dropped calls, and caller location were all areas of significant technical and policy disagreement. One by one, these challenges were overcome, however, thanks to strong and unwavering voices from the public and the public safety community, and, in key instances, from industry leaders willing to do the right thing. Here, I would be remiss if I did not highlight the contribution of
Mrs. Boyd,
In order to effectively respond to emergencies, 9-1-1 centers must be able to tell field responders where to go. The basic technologies, like GPS, which make that possible are now more than twenty years old, a lifetime in today's technology cycle. Yet there are still circumstances in which 9-1-1 centers cannot locate callers who, rightly and reasonably, believe that when they call, they can be found. Understanding that belief is critically important: In preparing for today's hearing, I spoke with PSAP managers from several jurisdictions around the country. In
Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 is deployed in two formally-defined phases, with an informal "Phase 0" added for the sake of completeness. Phase 0 permits wireless callers to reach a 9-1-1 center and provides only a callback number in case a call drops. Phase I allows the 9-1-1 system to look up the address of the cell tower serving the caller, and in many cases the cardinal or inter-cardinal bearing along the center of the sector to which the caller's device is attached (e.g., N, W, NE, SW, etc.). Phase II allows the 9-1-1 system to request more precise location information related to the caller's device, rather than the cell, and can provide the telecommuni-cator with an estimate of the caller's latitude and longitude coordinates. n2
PSAPs and 9-1-1 authorities must affirmatively request each phase of service from each carrier serving their jurisdiction once they have deployed the hardware, software, and training required to accept and handle each new form of location information. Additionally, in many states, PSAPs must pay carriers to provide the requested service out of state-and locally-collected 9-1-1 fees, often with no audit or capital amortization requirements. In those states much of the revenue collected in 9-1-1 fees each year never reaches local 9-1-1 centers because it is paid directly back to the carriers. As state legislatures have raided 9-1-1 funds as a quick fix for short-term budget problems, these dual pressures have left some local PSAPs contemplating a previously unthinkable reduction in service from Phase II to Phase I or less. While such a reduction would preserve core 9-1-1 operations, it would also place countless lives at risk as PSAPs and field responders struggled to locate callers without an address or lat/long coordinates. Yet while PSAPs face dual pressures reducing their funding, carriers reap a dual benefit to their revenues: Carriers sell consumer location data, often derived from the very same hardware and software that supports E9-1-1 operations, as part of Commercial Location-Based Services offerings, generating almost
The advent of "big data" analytics systems has begun to offer the public safety community a glimpse into the world behind the curtain. As PSAPs have deployed advanced Management Information Systems (MIS), call-data monitoring platforms, and cutting-edge analytics and visualization systems, they have gained insight into the apparent performance of entire E9-1-1 systems, including wireless networks. Here, it is important to emphasize that the data available to PSAPs is apparent data: It reflects the reality experienced by the front-line 9-1-1 telecommunicators responsible for answering calls on a daily basis, and does not include visibility into the records, interfaces, or flows of calls and data that lie strictly within carriers' networks. Nonetheless, it is the apparent data which matter: Telecommunicators cannot dispatch help based on information that never reaches them. As these apparent data have become available, they have raised myriad questions and legitimate concerns throughout the 9-1-1 community.
Over the Summer CalNENA, the independent chapter of my organization that serves the state of
First, we discovered that the apparent down-trend in Phase II availability could be explained, at least in part, by an industry-wide transition away from older "network based" location technology to newer "handset based" technology. Network based location systems have historically used Location Measurement Units (LMUs) situated on cell towers to listen for precisely-timed transmissions from mobile devices. Based on the speed of light in air and certain other known properties of radio signal propagation, these units could then combine 3 or more distance measurements to estimate the location of the caller's device. This approach can provide a very fast "Time To First Fix," but only at the expense of producing a lower-accuracy estimate of position. Newer handset-based solutions, by contrast, can produce much more accurate position estimates, but take a longer time to acquire a fix as they must "listen" for signals from lower-powered satellite transmitters (e.g., GPS, GLONASS). Because PSAP equipment typically makes an initial request or "bid" for Phase II location data at a fixed time after a call is connected, the transition from fast but less accurate technologies to slower but more accurate ones could have produced the trend observed by CalNENA in the absence of a timing change at the PSAPs. This would have lowered apparent location yield early in calls, but potentially improved location accuracy once a fix was obtained later in calls.
Second, we discovered that long-since overcome technical challenges associated with certain early CDMA handsets, coupled with erroneous beliefs about carrier charges for location update requests or "re-bids" had led to a widespread policy against the use of automatic re-bids. This policy may have prevented the PSAPs involved in the CalNENA study from receiving Phase II location information when it might otherwise have been available, thus lowering carrier's apparent rate of Phase II location delivery. Consequently, it could be assumed that reinstituting automatic rebids would raise the apparent fraction of calls for which Phase II location information is available.
Third, we believe that fundamental changes in consumer use patterns for mobile devices could be driving down the fraction of calls for which Phase II location information can be estimated. As originally envisioned in the
I wish to emphasize, however, that it is still possible that none of these explanations may fully explain the discrepancy between the levels of location performance reported by many carriers after the CalNENA filing and the levels found in the CalNENA study. To date, carriers' assertions of aggregate performance levels have not included disclosures of the underlying data which might allow public safety agencies or the
All of this debate about whose data says what and how it should be interpreted, however, is, to some extent, beside the point: Ultimately, what matters to the public safety community and to consumers is whether a caller can be accurately located when she or he calls for help. Circumstances today are very different than they were in 2001. New technologies are already in the market, ready to compete, and can provide improved location capabilities that reach inside homes and businesses to the places where consumers use mobile devices today. As mobile networks move into the 21st century with advanced broadband data capabilities and high-accuracy location technologies for consumer applications, it is critical that we ensure 9-1-1 systems are not left behind. Now, anticipation and speculation about a potential indoor location requirement may be holding back carrier investments in improved location technology.
Over the past year, the
Because the market for new and improved location technology has proven its ability to better meet the needs of the public safety community on a competitive basis, NENA is convinced that the time for study is at an end: While we support the continued operation of the CSRIC test bed as a means to provide unbiased evaluations of new technologies willing to endure its rigors, we do not believe that its existence should become a perpetual excuse for delay. The public and the public safety community need improved location performance - both outdoors and in - today. Every moment we delay the start of those improvements lives, property, and productivity are needlessly lost. We therefore encourage the Committee to support immediate
