Re: GW Wireless, Inc.- Tier III E911lnterim Report
CC Docket No. 94-102
Dear Ms. Dortch:
GW Wireless, Inc. ("GW") is the licensee ofBroadband PCS Stations WPOJ757 (Market
B301 - Mitchell, SD BTA E-Block) and WP0J758 (Market B369 - Rapid City BTA C-Block).
Tier III CMRS carriers were directed to file an Interim Report with the FCC on or before August
1,2003, describing in detail their implementation plans for Wireless E911 Phase II Automatic
Location Infonnation.' At the time, GW had not yet constructed its broadband PCS system, so
we did not submit an E911 Interim Report. Now that GW has constructed its network, it is
supplementing its E911 Status Report filed on November 30, 2001, to provide to answer any
questions the Conunission's staffmay have regarding GW's regulatory compliance.
GW has constructed its broadband PCS system in the using Airspan's AS4000 wireless
DSL platfonn.

As ofthis time, our network is being used to provide high-speed data services
only.
Because GW is not using its broadband PCS network to provide "real-time, two way
switched voice service that is interconuected with the public switched network," the Company's
operations fall outside the scope ofthe E-911 service requirements set forth in Section 20.18 (a)
ofthe COlwnission's Rules, as well as the Intelim Reporting requirements set forth in the Non
Nationwide Carrier E911 Order. For the same reason, GW has not found it necessary to file
any request(s) for waiver ofthe COlmnission's E-911 Rules.
See Revision ofthe Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility with Enhauced 911 Emergency Calliug
Systems, CC Docket No. 94-102, Order to Stay (reI. July 26,2002) ("Non-Nationwide Carrier E911 Order") at
paras. 34-35.

Should GW in the future decide to provide interconnected voice services that fall within
the scope ofRule Section 20.18, we shall comply with applicable regulatory obligations with
respect to E-9ll.
