E911-LBS Consulting

What E911-LBS Consulting does

E911-LBS Consulting is a privately-held, founder-led professional services firm headquartered in Saint Louis, Missouri that provides strategic and technical consulting in wireless location, E911/Next Generation 911, and Internet of Things (IoT). Founded in 2002 by David H. Williams — an internationally-recognized expert in the wireless/mobile location field — the firm advises enterprises, startups, and public sector entities on location-based service architectures spanning GPS, network-based methods (TDOA, ECID, AFLT), Wi-Fi positioning, BLE/Beacon, RFID/RTLS, and hybrid sensor/context systems, with active service lines in connected and driverless car development, mobile location strategy and product design, and AI-enabled context and location infrastructure.

The firm operates a sister company, E911-LBS Forensics Engineering, which provides cellphone forensic data extraction, CDR/E911/PCMD analysis, and expert testimony for accident reconstruction, crime scene analysis, and patent/anti-trust/trade secret/ITC litigation. Combined, the practice has supported 150+ patent matters and 50+ criminal/civil cases, with 75 depositions and 15 successful testimonies across US federal district court, the ITC, and venues in Canada and South America. Williams is the named inventor on 13 patents — 12 of which employ AI/ML for context- and location-driven behavior modification — and has authored five books on wireless location.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements initiated via direct contact (email and phone), with no publicly disclosed pricing or packaged products. The firm employs 1–10 people, has no external investors, and serves a marquee client roster that spans wireless carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint/T-Mobile), semiconductor and consumer electronics firms (Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, Google, Tile), automotive and telematics players (GM, Toyota, Volkswagen, Geotab), logistics and retail (FedEx, Target, BJs), rideshare (Uber, Lyft), connected home/sports betting (VIVINT, DraftKings), and public safety/law enforcement (Houston PD, L.A. County DA). Go-to-market is founder-led expert advisory; the firm has no formal channel, no app, and no API.
