PODCAST Geolocation Incorporated Within the SIM Card

Posted on by Khayle Guillermo

A different approach to location-based services is being presented by Stevie Ooi, who is chief locationist at W-locate. While most other services are based on GPS signals (with all the relative problems of this solution, in the absence of signal, for eg. within buildings) their product is based on the SIM card itself, which pinpoints the position of the mobile phone and its owner. He tells us about the first rollout of their special network and device agnostic SIM card in Singapore and Thailand, their plans to pass from a B2B to a B2C selling model and their vision of the oncoming IoT era, where their SIM card will provide a valuable element -location- as an extra dimension in the analytical process of big data.

How Location-Based Services Will Shape Future Cities and Save Many Lives

Posted on by Khayle Guillermo

The latest advancements in location-based services (LBS) are bringing about major improvements in accuracy, reliability and the services that can be delivered. Due to these advances, LBS are increasingly being deployed in mission-critical applications such as guiding emergency services directly to a caller.

Yet it’s the huge range of potential commercial applications that may boost mobile operators’ revenues. With the ever increasing threat from ‘Over-the-Top’ (OTT) services, operators have been looking at new ways to generate income from their pre-existing network infrastructure. LBS may be just the answer. [Read more..]

SIM-based LBS: Breathing New Life into an Operator’s Network with M2M connections

2014 saw some important developments in the telecommunications sector, as operators continued to come under pressure from Over-The-Top (OTT) services. With the reality for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) being falling revenue from calls and text messaging, operators are now looking toward offering new enterprise services. Rethinking mobile networks as business service delivery systems means operators can extend reach, and increase revenue from a large underutilized market. [Read More..]

Why SIM-based LBS Offers New Hope to Drive Location Revenues

It is no secret mobile operators have been losing out to Over-the-Top (OTT) services for a while now. Carriers are seeing falling revenues from their core services (calls and texts) as OTT providers undermine these offerings with their own services. As a result, operators are increasingly looking towards the enterprise market to secure new revenue streams and stave off simply becoming a “dumb pipe”.

One area of interest for mobile operators is location-based services (LBS) for enterprise. Fact is LBS can energize and even transform industries such as advertising, logistics and workforce management. However, just as with messaging, OTT services have started developing LBS offerings – and this risks cutting operators out of another lucrative revenue generator. So, are mobile operators destined to lose the OTT fight or can they launch their own LBS solution to claw back revenues? [Read More..]
