Orange UK Selects Wireless Location Supplier

SignalSoft Corporation has announced that Orange UK has signed a contract to enable the delivery of location-based services across WAP, SMS and interactive voice platforms. This is the second contract win for SignalSoft with the Orange group -- Orange Switzerland bought a similar package at the end of 2000. The Orange UK contract covers SignalSoft's latest Location Manager(TM) software and MAPS, its Geographic Information System (GIS) provisioning platform. "By using Enhanced Cell ID information, Orange UK will be able to package and deliver highly targeted localized services to its customers who request it," said Charlie Harrison, head of service design at Orange UK. "We'll be building on our existing location services infrastructure to expand our portfolio of content, including details of local entertainment, accommodation and other resources as well as weather and road conditions.""
