Mobilaris position TeliaSonera.

Mobilaris position TeliaSonera. The Swedish positioning company Mobilaris has found a new customer in TeliaSonera Finland. Mobilaris software system Pacific Ocean is already in use in Sweden and now TeliaSonera is introducing it to Finland for positioning services. According to Mobilaris, the business deal with TeliaSonera Finland represents the beginning of a trend. The Swedish magazine Ny Teknik recently focused on the new deal as interesting, for financial and practical streamlining reasons. All operators are constantly monitoring costs and searching for synergies. Mobilaris is implementing a centralized solution to cut the number of systems at TeliaSonera. To our knowledge it is the first time in the positioning area, says Roger Lundgren, sales director at Mobilaris. The TeliaSonera deal confirms Mobilaris position on the domestic market, but aims are set higher and Mobilaris is now extending into international markets. Ericsson markets and sells the system that detects the actual position of the telephone. The position information is used by Mobilaris software to enable a number of positioning services through several channels; wap, sms and web. It also enables connections to alarm- and charging system. Mobilaris has teamed with Intrado to provide solutions for commercial positioning services in the United States. Demand for similar products is constantly increasing, due to governmental requests for American operators to handle positioning of emergency calls. Equivalent requests exist in Europe.
