3 launch world first navigation system using A-GPS
January 13, 2004
3 has added a unique feature to the list of services available to customers
in several markets. The 3GEO mobile navigational system turns a customer's
handset into a perfect travel companion by allowing quick and exact location
searches. Maps available on the screen allow customers to find what ever
they are searching for. This world first, using A-GPS or Assisted Global
Positioning System technology, is now available in Austria, Denmark, UK
and Sweden, and will become a key feature of 3 services in other worldwide
3 markets later.
Our Mobile Services are always on hand
With the touch of a button, 3GEO finds out where our customers are and
leads them along the quickest path to their destination. 3Mobile allows
people to not only look at the detailed local maps, but also pinpoint
the nearest restaurant, bank, office-anything they are looking for. 3
also offers other useful functions. For example, with 3GEO, customers
can speed up the arrival of a roadside towing service from the OAMTC,
access up-to-the-minute information on traffic conditions, accidents,
road construction and parking.
Destination points on the 3Mobile with A-GPS
3 customers are able to determine their position automatically through
two different methods. Firstly through "approximate positioning", which
offers precise results of up to about 15-30 meters and this also operates
inside buildings.
Secondly and more accurate is the "Exact Positioning" method --enabled
by A-GPS. This precise location is derived through a number of steps that
are hidden from the customer. The first step is the handset receives an
approximate position, derived from approximate network position combined
with NASA assistance data. Then the final accurate position is derived
from data received from a number of satellites. This exact position is
then delivered over the 3G network in real-time, to allow the delivery
of position sensitive customer information back to the customers handset.
