Pedestrian navigation and transit routing service provider HopStop has been selected by TeleCommunication Systems to offer transit routing within its mobile navigation solution.
“Our wireless operator customers and their end users demand a mobile navigation experience that extends beyond just vehicular navigation to include modes of pedestrian navigation, including mass transit,” noted Kevin Tsurutome, vice president of TCS’ Commercial Software Group.
“In reviewing potential partners, we quickly came to realize no other company could provide the technology, ease of integration, reach and scale, critical mass and dependability that HopStop could.”
Under the terms of the agreement, TCS will embed HopStop’s service for both existing and new customers. This relationship covers all HopStop markets, which includes more than 200 cities worldwide.
TCS expects to complete the addition of HopStop functionality into its navigation applications by the end of 2012.
