The primary market for location-based services (LBS) is the Wireless phone industry, which has identified a significant number of personal and business services that depend on location. These Premium wireless services, and the creation of additional revenue streams, are the main commercial driver for wireless location for the global wireless operators.

Wireless location positioning has been given added momentum by a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandate passed in 1996, which requires that all US wireless networks must locate the position of a mobile phone’s 911 emergency caller. The adoption of location technology by wireless network operators has become both a high priority but complex task with early location technology relying on either satellites or costly signal timing transmitters. However, GeoMode Positioning Engine is a 100% software solution that locates all legacy mobile phones and wireless devices with high accuracy, and without any new network infrastructure. GeoMode software utilizes the latest advances in decision theory, probabilistic modeling and information theory to provide an improved solution to location positioning in wireless networks. More...
