FE Report
Aircel, one of the leading operators in India, has selected Ericsson to provide mobile positioning systems for its 2G and 3G subscribers. Aircel users can now get real time tracking, navigation information and information services while on the move. Enterprises could also use this for effective resource management. This is Ericsson India's first contract managing the location-based services platform in a multi-vendor core network environment. Ericsson Mobile Positioning Systems (MPS) will offer advanced Location Based Services (LBS) to Aircel subscribers and can support several positioning alternatives for GSM and WCDMA. That ranges from network-based methods with cell accuracy aimed for all terminals, to more accurate terminal-based methods using GPS positioning.
