TruePosition Signs Contract With Viaero Wireless to Supply its
Network-based Finder System Optimized for Rural Carriers KING OF
PRUSSIA, Pa., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TruePosition(R),
Inc., a leading provider of location-based technologies and
solutions, today announced an agreement with Viaero(TM) Wireless to
provide its Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA) wireless
location system to enable Viaero to meet the Phase II requirements
of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) E-911 mandate.
TruePosition's Finder(TM) System has exceeded those requirements in
customer deployments covering many of the U.S.'s top 100 markets
and is now bringing this capability to the rural carrier community.
TruePosition's solution provides Viaero with an affordable platform
for the provision of emergency services and can also accommodate
future location-based services. "We selected TruePosition because
of their demonstrated market leadership, their location platform,
and their commitment to meeting the needs of the Tier III carrier.
The result is a system that will provide us with the best and most
cost-effective combination of performance, reliability and
flexibility," said Larry Aisenbrey, Senior Vice President of Viaero
Wireless. "In the rural market, our customers are also our
neighbors and friends, so we are committed to provide them with the
tools necessary to ensure their safety while providing them access
to the latest wireless services available," added Aisenbrey.
"TruePosition recognizes the importance and unique challenges of
providing E-911 services to all U.S. wireless users, including
those in rural areas," stated Chris Polito, TruePosition's Vice
President of Sales. "We have optimized our Finder System to meet
the needs of rural operators and we are delighted to be working
with Viaero, one of the most forward thinking and progressive
carriers in the rural market." Since TruePosition's U-TDOA-based
Finder System is a network-based wireless location technology,
Viaero is able to offer E-911 services to their GSM subscribers
without requiring them to replace or modify their current phones.
"We are pleased to be working with TruePosition," said Frank
Dirico, President of Viaero Wireless. "It has always been Viaero's
mission to provide superior quality rural wireless service to our
subscribers. The intent is to provide access to services that allow
them to communicate better, feel safer and in doing so, improve the
quality of their lives." We know that TruePosition's wireless
location system is in line with our goals. Not only will our system
enable us to enhance the safety of our subscribers by providing
E-911 service, but we now have the foundation in place to offer
cutting-edge location-based services in the future." About
