Approximately 30% of all respondents were located in either rural areas in which wireless coverage was too limited or in areas in which an agency was unable to get cooperation from their local wireless provider that did have coverage to assist in the study with devices and airtime. Several hundred respondents were discarded due to not being emergency service organizations, even though they did want to participate (Universities, Private research firms, other wireless consultants, International respondents, etc.). 440 emergency service organizations were ultimately added to the study.
Study assesses 440 public safety organizations and their traditional dispatching capabilities (published feature article in Mission Critical Magazine).
