Spime Announces Launch of SUPL 2.0 Client for Location Positioning with a
Tier One Chipset Maker
September 19, 2011 (MMD Newswire) – – Spime Inc., the leading provider of
LBS technology, today announces the launch of its SUPL 2.0 client with a US
based, Tier One chipset manufacturer. Spime’s SUPL is a middleware for smart
phones and Tablets that implements a SUPL client enabling SET (SUPL Enabled
Terminal) based or SET assisted position determination.
Spime’s SUPL client is a complete implementation of the Secure User Plane
Location protocol V2.0 that enables wireless service providers to provide a
new generation of location based services (LBS). The SUPL 2.0 client
implements the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) standards based bearer for
transferring location information such as GPS assistance data and carries
positioning technology-related protocols between mobile terminals and the
mobile network. With the widespread adoption of services that require the
location of mobile devices, Spime’s SUPL 2.0 client offers a complementary
alternative to existing location standards built upon traditional signaling
mechanisms limited to the mobile network.
“Spime’s SUPL 2.0 client is one of the industry’s most comprehensive
implementations of the OMA SUPL 2.0 standard says Venkateswaran K, Spime’s
VP of Engineering. Spime’s SUPL client supports:
– Network based and SET based SUPL Agents;
– A-GPS, A-GANSS, E-Cell ID;
– Immediate, Periodic Triggered and Event Triggered Services; and,
– GSM/GPRS, WCDMA, CDMA, WLAN, LTE, UMB, WiMAX bearer networks.
ODMs should consider Spime’s solution even if they have an A-GPS chipset
without the software.”
Spime’s SUPL 2.0 client is written in a native portable code which minimizes
integration and migration effort. With clearly defined integration points to
the platform and GPS driver, integrations are simplified. And, Spime offers
a flexible delivery model with the client available as an SDK in Source Code
or Object Code format. Spime also offers integration services leveraging the
company’s multi-platform expertise.
“Building on the successful commercialization of our SUPL 1.0 client
distributed on chipset manufacturers and ODMs around the world, Spime’s SUPL
2.0 release demonstrates the company’s commitment to support the evolving
SUPL standard, says Gary Mendel, VP WW Marketing and Sales. Customers
Licensing Spime’s SUPL software can have the confidence that they will have
the most current location solutions available for their customers.”
