Thailand’s largest operator brings Wireless M2M services to enterprise users

15 October, 2014 (SINGAPORE) – Thailand’s largest mobile operator, AIS, today announced the launch of Mobile Track and Trace, one of the world’s first enterprise-specific SIM-based location-based service (LBS) solutions. Powered by W-Locate’s XimLoc, Mobile Track and Trace brings improved indoor tracking and M2M capabilities to AIS corporate subscribers.

Mobile Track and Trace offers AIS’ business customers accurate outdoor and indoor location-based services to enable the development of products for advertising, promotions and the tracking of high-value goods.

With XimLoc, operators can provide location-based services from their own networks, with minimal CAPEX and provides increased Return on Investment. XimLoc runs as an algorithm on a mobile device’s SIM card, so operators do not have addition investment in costly new hardware. This means that XimLoc has an extremely short lead-time, providing operators an immediate and manageable entry into M2M-based service provisioning. Operators can also incorporate SMS notifications into the solution with additional customizable options to secure new revenue streams.

“The enterprise sector has been a focus of AIS for a while now,” said Somchai Lertsutiwong, CEO of AIS. “As a result, we only want to offer services that we know will deliver a business benefit to our customers. The collaboration with W-Locate and XimLoc highlights our commitment to deliver the highest quality service to our customers by developing strong relationships with leading partners. What we saw in XimLoc was a solution that markedly improves on the indoor capabilities of current GPS-based LBS tracking solutions. This key feature is helping us expand our business services portfolio.”

“We are proud to have partnered with AIS to develop Mobile Track and Trace for its business customers,” said Stevie Ooi, CEO of W-Locate. “In the next couple of years, the LBS M2M market is going to be hugely important for mobile network operators as they look to expand their enterprise focus. A SIM-based solution such as XimLoc not only opens up better indoor tracking capabilities, but also enables operators to play a defining role in the evolution of the wireless M2M market.”

First in the world, XimLoc delivers a SIM-Based tracking system that can accurately track any mobile handset in both indoor and outdoor locations. XimLoc is a proprietary technology, which uses information and signals that are available from the GSM (2G/3G) network to compute positions. XimLoc uses an applet (that resides in a SIM card) to send back to a backend XimLoc server, which will calculate the most probable location based on WLC’s Patent-Pending algorithm. XimLoc has been vigorously tested and has been proven to be as accurate as GPS while addressing the limitations of GPS, i.e. inability to track indoor and heavy power consumption. W-Locate expect XimLoc to be deployed heavily for workforce tracking in Asia. XimLoc has already secured 2 major telecommunications companies to launch its services in South East Asia. XimLoc is also currently in talks with telecommunications companies in other parts of Asia and the Middle East.
