TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ:TSYS), a key architect of wireless location and messaging software, today announced that Cingular Wireless has selected the TCS' Xypoint(R) Location Platform as one of the vendors providing support for the company's Phase I and II wireless E9-1-1 location service.
Under the agreement, TCS will provide database services and routers to Cingular Wireless for E9-1-1 location services.
"This agreement demonstrates the ongoing commitment by Cingular Wireless to the public safety community and the subscribers they serve," said Maurice B. Tose, president, chairman and CEO of TeleCommunication Systems. "Cingular's decision to use the Xypoint(R) Location Platform enables us to assist them with Phase I and II wireless E9-1-1 deployment."
The Xypoint(R) Location Platform uniquely integrates location, presence and privacy technologies into one technical solution, thus enabling wireless carriers to migrate easily from providing E9-1-1 service to offering a full complement of commercial location services. In addition to its technical platform, the TCS wireless E9-1-1 solution provides carriers with end-to-end support including switch integration and Geographic Information Services (GIS) database management, state and local regulatory compliance expertise, and administrative management and deployment. The Xypoint(R) Location Platform enables PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) to receive the cell site location, 10-digit callback number, name of the wireless carrier, and community or neighborhood of call origination -- data critical to finding callers in distress.
