Location Based Services
Location Identifier is a highly robust, scalable and reliable platform that determines the location of the subscribers in an operator's network. The platform database is highly flexible and accommodates latitude/longitude resolution, if the infrastructure is available in the network. Once the service is launched, operators should consider the provision of services that can be accessed and used by customers of other networks in the same market. By doing this, operators can increase the chances of LBS becoming a mass-market services rather than remaining a niche product.
