KDDI releases GPS for 3G phones

date: July 26, 2002

KDDI Corp. is to begin GPS MAP, a new location information management service that takes advantage of the highly accurate location measuring capabilities of KDDI's 3G CDMA2000 1x GPS KEITAI to provide corporate customers with a way to improve transport management, sales and marketing activities and the dispatch of maintenance personnel.

The new service increase value to customers by bringing together mobile phone technology and the Internet. KDDI previously released its proprietary GPS KEITAI, which uses Global Positioning System satellites and wireless routing stations to provide users with location information accurate to within a few meters.

Well suited to consumers, GPS KEITAI also acts as a core component of solutions for corporate clients. Based on many of the features incorporated in GPS KEITAI, GPS MAP allows users to see in real time the location of all personnel or vehicles with compatible handsets. It has many potential applications in areas as diverse as goods delivery and collection, sales, maintenance, nursing, healthcare, security and event management.

Aimed at corporate customers, GPS MAP is simple to operate and has low rollout and running costs, making for excellent cost performance. Users can also choose to display movement histories and information about the state of work in progress. The system supports the sending of messages from the monitoring PC to individual mobile phones, which allows dispatched personnel to make speedy responses to instructions issued by supervisors, improving operational efficiency.
