TeleCommunication Systems and Intersec partnership to expand precise location based services

TeleCommunication Systems (TCS), a wireless communication technology provider, and Intersec, a vendor of real-time streaming analytics software, are working together to expand precise location-based service (LBS) solutions. The partnership leverages TCS’ ability to manage 10 billion transactions monthly, scalability and precise location technologies and Intersec’s ability to deliver both passive- and analytics-based location services to address new market needs for location, ranging from public safety to commercial applications. 

Together Intersec and TCS provide customers with an array of complementary precise location solutions including wireless emergency alerts, location-based advertising, geo-messaging, real-time geofencing, location analytics, mass-scale location monitoring and crowd analytics, as well as an expanded set of other location services and solutions. In 12 months, the companies have signed agreements with major operators in Hong Kong, and KSA for a variety of LBS applications including anonymised subscriber movement analysis, mobile advertising, and LBS application support to inbound roamers. 

TCS Commercial Software Group, Vice President of Mobility Solutions Keith Bhatia said:
“Several years ago we made a calculated decision to expand our business by growing in new geographic markets. As a result, we began building out our ecosystem to sustain our No. 1 position in precise location and to drive the burgeoning LBS market. Partnering with Intersec is a natural step in that transformation, as the company is an industry leader in both active and passive location technology. Together we have rapidly secured three major operator customers in Africa and Asia, and are continuing to expand our customer set as operators take advantage of 4G and 5G capabilities to deliver new location-based services.”

Intersec Vice President of Strategic Alliances Patrick Métaireau said: “In addition to providing critical information for public safety applications, precise location capabilities are a catalyst in helping operators and other companies drive new revenue streams for marketing and advertising. Partnering with TCS allows us to capitalise on this growing market opportunity given the company’s ability to scale solutions for a wide range of customers and manage billions of transactions each month. Together TCS and Intersec are able to harness new market opportunities and use-cases for location applications, and strengthen our positions as leaders in this expanding market.”
