This week at the CTIA trde show in New Orleans, TeleCommunication Systems and cross operator location service provider LOCAID have announced a partnership to help wireless operators monetize their LBS infrastructure.
Through this partnership, Locaid’s aggregation solution integrates with TCS’ network location platforms enabling wireless operators to monetize their LBS service via LOCAID customers. These customers, mostly enterprise vertical application vendors (including for example logistics), use LOCAID to locate their workforce or assets.
“With the appropriate privacy protections, the location of an individual has proven to be a valuable asset that can enhance the value of a carrier or enterprise’s service,” said Lynne Seitz, vice president of location products at TCS.
“One of our key goals is to help our carrier customers to monetize this asset by making it available on demand to third parties across a wide-variety of verticals. After an extensive study of the mobile location market and providers, we selected Locaid for their commitment to privacy and impressive portfolio of content providers, enterprises, application developers and merchants who will compensate operators for access to location.”
