based service providers, announced today that it will be showcasing its
unique range of location solutions at the forthcoming Location Based
Services 2006 Conference, to be held at the Hilton Olympia in London
from November 20th - 23rd.
The company has developed an innovative solution to the problem of
locating mobile phones accurately without needing to deploy additional
handset add-ons such as GPS. To cater for the Fixed Mobile Substitution
market, Seeker Zone(tm) has been developed to allow subscribers to use
their mobile phones as their home phones with an accuracy of under 500
metres.
On the first day of the show, Monday 20th November at 3 pm, Andrew
Grill, General Manager & Head of Sales at Seeker Wireless, will address
the conference and demonstrate a new approach to that of HomeZone
services currently deployed in Germany. Entitled "Evaluating the use of
high accuracy HomeZone as an enabler to drive new LBS revenues", Andrew
will outline how this unique approach from Seeker can drive incremental
LBS revenues. He will explain how the new solution can result in reduced
revenue leakage and improved detection reliability, with increased
revenue for mobile operators.
"We believe our participation in the market will have a big effect on
the LBS industry", commented Andrew Grill. "Recent trials of our product
on live networks have demonstrated a high level of accuracy on standard
GSM and 3G handsets and a number of operators have already seen the
benefits of our HomeZone solution."
Grill continued, "To build on our SeekerZone product, we have a range of
exciting products planned for 2007 focussed on tracking, location search
and location advertising. We feel that our unique approach to location
will in turn benefit the whole LBS industry".
Now in its sixth year, Location Based Services 2006 is an opportunity to
hear about the latest LBS enabled applications including navigation,
mobile local search, telematics and m-communities. Delegates will also
hear about new trends such as how LBS can link with mobile advertising.
Seeker Wireless will also be participating in a post-conference workshop
on 23rd November. The session, will run from 9:30 to 15:30 and is
entitled "Developing LBS applications utilising the latest GPS
technologies". Led by NEC Europe, the workshop will address the issue
of how to utilise different technologies to deliver compelling LBS and
drive revenue.
