SERVICE CAPABILITIES

The Mobile Services business unit focuses on two business areas:

• Mobile location services
• Development partner

Mobile location services

After the first years of initial hyping of the mobile location services market, mobile positioning services are becoming more widespread among operators around the world. Positioning is not so much a service in itself, but rather an integrated feature in the new realm of services offered to subscribers. It is used to enhance those services such as profile handling, active information push, efficient WAP browsing and presence services etc. Also, it has been deployed effectively in community type services and, in some cases, operators have achieved success with dedicated info-search and friend-finder applications. Last but not least, mobile positioning is becoming more and more important in emergency situations. Even with the current accuracy limitations within basic Cell-ID based positioning, it has proved very useful to get an indication of a subscriber's location in an emergency situation.
