Positioning system gets closer to the mark
Cambridge Positioning Systems reckons its latest trial results show that E-OTD is making strong progress towards delivering the FCC's 2003 accuracy requirements.
This will enable users of PDAs and smartphones to take advantage of a growing number of commercial location based services in the USA and beyond.
According to recent research, the location-based services market will grow from around $1bn worldwide this year to an estimated $15 billion worldwide by 2007.
It is predicted that consumer-driven "infotainment" services - such as "where's my nearest" and "friend finder" along with news, traffic conditions, proximity and community services - will drive market takeup.
"Location based services are a critical capability for mobile platforms", said Tony Sica, Vice President of Marketing for Intel's Wireless Communications and Computing Group.
"We believe Intel PCA provides a solid platform to help realise the potential of location services.
It is an open platform that supports rich applications and leading location determination technologies like E-OTD".
According to Chris Wade, CEO of CPS, today's announcement is further validation of E-OTD as a global standardised location technology: "This is hugely significant for E-OTD - and will further drive the availability of location-enabled devices on a global basis to support the expanding market for commercial and personal safety services".
