TeleCommunication Systems Hosted Xypoint Location Platform Replaces
nTelos Infrastructure for Location-Based Services
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a
world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication
technology, today announced the successful deployment of its
Xypoint Location Platform (XLP®), which now supplies
nTelos wireless with mobile Location-Based Services (LBS)
infrastructure. nTelos wireless needed a flexible replacement
solution that could be supplied rapidly while providing subscribers
with uninterrupted location services.
The XLP is a standards-based location infrastructure which
provides both cell-ID and precise A-GPS location and is hosted in
the industry's only TL-9000 certified hosting facility. This
comprehensive and scalable hosted solution consists of hardware,
software, maintenance and around-the-clock operation. With this
all-inclusive LBS infrastructure, nTelos wireless will continue to
provide precise location information for applications for its
customers while avoiding operational and logistical burdens.
With the addition of nTelos wireless, TCS now supplies its XLP
location platform to 35 mobile operators worldwide. Berg Insight's
recent LBS platform study identifies TCS as the global leader in
providing precise location infrastructure to mobile operators.
TCS' ability to quickly deploy a complete hosted location
infrastructure – as well as a suite of LBS applications such as
navigation, family finder and workforce locator – helps mobile
operators reduce time to market, lower implementation costs and
eliminate integration problems associated with new location
services, achieving a higher return on investment in record
time.
Supporting Quotes:
- Lynne Seitz, vice president
of location products, TCS, said: "It was imperative that nTelos
achieve its long-standing commitment to delivering the best
customer value and the best customer experience while going through
this LBS transition. As other location service providers exit the
market, often with little warning, TCS' ability to step in and
quickly transition location services has become as valuable to
operators as the quality of our technology solutions. We look
forward to delivering location services to meet the needs of nTelos
for many years to come."
- Conrad Hunter, chief
operating officer, nTelos Wireless, said: "In order to
provide our customers with the applications and location-based
services they desire, we selected TCS for its easy-to-implement,
hosted service to meet our deadline. We are very pleased that TCS
has been able to provide our subscribers with access to their
favorite LBS applications without interruption."
