Intrado Inc. (NASDAQ:TRDO), a global provider of
integrated data and telecommunications solutions, and Networks In
Motion, Inc., the award-winning Wireless Navigation and LBS Company,
today announced that they have agreed to cooperatively market
location-based services (LBS) solutions for wireless carriers and
enterprise customers. Together, the companies will provide wireless
carriers and enterprise customers with the enhanced functionality
needed to successfully launch and manage location-based applications.
The joint offering will reduce the need for in-house resources and
technology while enabling faster time-to-market for LBS applications.
The joint offering will integrate Networks in Motion's
applications with Intrado's Hosted User-Plane Positioning Determining
Entity (PDE) to deliver mobile customers location-relevant content in
a commercially proven system that is accurate, reliable and secure.
Applications being offered include voice-prompted turn-by-turn
navigation (AtlasBook(TM)), mobile workforce management
(AtlasLink(TM)), and (FamilyFinder(TM)), a tool for parents to help
locate their child and determine if they are safe. These handset-based
location applications will be supported by the Intrado Hosted
User-Plane PDE, which features proven A-GPS technology along with
compatibility for all BREW and J2ME handsets. It easily integrates
into existing network infrastructure, reducing risks and minimizing
costs for faster time-to-market. With its open platform, wireless
carriers can easily develop new applications or utilize existing
content when launching location services.
"With wireless carriers focusing on the increased revenue
opportunities for data services and the growing interest in LBS,
offering the applications and the platform together makes sense as it
reduces the time and complexity in launching location services," said
Keith Collins, Intrado vice president product marketing. "We're
pleased to join forces with Networks In Motion and their award-winning
solutions to deliver location-centric information to people on the
go."
"We expect exciting features, like navigation, to become as
ubiquitous as picture phones; because finding relevant information is
easier with a location context, NIM's award-winning applications will
increase carrier's revenue per subscriber," said Doug Antone, Networks
In Motion chief executive officer.
