Emergency caller location over Wi-Fi refers to a technology that identifies the precise location of a caller making an emergency call using Wi-Fi networks. It functions by leveraging Wi-Fi access points, device identifiers, and advanced positioning methods to estimate the caller's location even in areas with weak mobile coverage, such as indoors or underground. It assists emergency responders in reaching people faster and more reliably, enhancing public safety and saving lives.
The key components of emergency caller location over Wi-Fi are hardware, software, and services. Hardware includes the physical devices and equipment that enable determination of a caller's location during an emergency call over a Wi-Fi network. It uses technologies such as Wi-Fi positioning, hybrid positioning, global positioning system (GPS) integration, and others, and is deployed on-premises or in cloud-based environments. It is applied in public safety, emergency services, law enforcement, disaster management, and other areas, serving end users such as government agencies, telecom operators, enterprises, public safety organizations, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.

The emergency caller location over Wi-Fi market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.51 billion in 2024 to $1.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing public demand for precise caller identification, rising emphasis on faster ambulance dispatch, growing pressure from emergency response agencies for location accuracy, surge in government mandates for indoor caller information, and heightened awareness of emergency response gaps in buildings.
The emergency caller location over Wi-Fi market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.20 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing national programs promoting indoor caller detection, rising need for accurate emergency support in smart cities, growing focus on protecting vulnerable populations during emergencies, expansion of regulatory requirements for multi-building caller tracking, and rising adoption of public safety reforms related to emergency response. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in location triangulation over wireless networks, advancements in indoor mapping for caller identification, innovations in multi-sensor positioning for emergency response, developments in cloud-based caller analytics, and innovations in device-based hybrid positioning systems.
The increasing frequency of natural disasters is expected to propel the growth of the emergency caller location over Wi-Fi market going forward. Natural disasters refer to severe events such as earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes that cause significant damage to human life, property, and the environment. The occurrence of natural disasters is rising due to climate change, which intensifies extreme weather events. Emergency caller location over Wi-Fi supports disaster management by providing real-time location data of affected individuals, enabling faster and more coordinated response efforts. It improves rescue efficiency by allowing authorities to accurately locate people in need, enhancing overall disaster preparedness and public safety. For instance, in January 2024, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a US-based federal scientific agency, the US experienced 28 separate weather and climate disasters costing at least $1 billion in 2023, marking the highest number of disasters in a single year. Therefore, the increasing frequency of natural disasters is driving the demand for the emergency caller location over Wi-Fi market.
Key companies operating in the emergency caller location over Wi-Fi market are focusing on developing advanced digital services, such as emergency location sharing, to enhance public safety, improve emergency response efficiency, and reduce critical response times. Emergency location sharing refers to systems that automatically provide a caller's precise location data to emergency response centers when a call is made. For instance, in August 2025, the Royal Thai Police, Advanced Info Service (AIS), a Thailand-based telecommunications company, and Google LLC, a US-based technology company, launched the 191 Emergency Location Service in Thailand. This service automatically shares the location of an Android mobile user with the 191 emergency police hotline when a call is placed. It utilizes Google's emergency location service (ELS) to provide a more precise geographic location, enabling faster and more accurate dispatch of police units without requiring the caller to manually describe their whereabouts.
In August 2023, Mark43 Inc., a US-based cloud-native public safety technology company, partnered with RapidSOS Inc. to enhance emergency caller location accuracy and data richness.
