Andrew Corp and Cambridge Positioning Systems have established a strategic partnership to develop high accuracy location solutions for the global GSM and 3G markets.

Under the terms of the agreement, Andrew will licence certain CPS caller location technologies, including CPS's Matrix technology, to create a new generation of caller location products.

Andrew expects that the new products will offer significant performance and cost advantages for applications such as commercial location-based services and public safety.

Andrew Corp plans to introduce these new products during 2004 and market them through Andrew's global sales organisation.

"The Andrew Geometrix wireless location system is well established as the premier system for locating cellular emergency callers and we look forward to introducing new capabilities for our caller location product line", said Terry Garner, Andrew President of Network Solutions.

"We believe that these new products will have strong potential to dramatically reduce caller location costs and to enable new commercial applications and other uses for the global market".

"This agreement marks another significant step in the acceptance and availability of Matrix-based location solutions for the global market", CPS CEO Chris Wade said.

"There is a strong synergy between the two companies in the development of powerful new generation caller location products that will increase performance and capability and reduce deployment costs for operators".
