Openwave Systems announced that NEC Corp. is integrating Openwave Location Manager into NEC’s Network Assisted Location Information Solutions. Vodafone K.K. in Japan is the first customer to select the combined solution. Openwave and NEC’s location solution is in compliance with the pre-standard Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) standard currently under consideration by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). The solution integrates Openwave Location Manager’s Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) with NEC’s SUPL positioning server to provide a high-accuracy, Assisted GPS (A-GPS) offering that enables location-based services for both the consumer and enterprise markets. The combined solution also incorporates an access management feature to protect subscriber privacy at both the mobile handset and application levels.  

“We are committed to working with our customers to deliver intuitive and secure mobile location experiences for consumers. Our established leadership in User Plane location products, coupled with our advanced location middleware, allows us to offer a high accuracy location solution for mobile operators like Vodafone K.K., said Rich Wong, senior vice president, products solutions group, Openwave. Vodafone K.K.’s adoption of our solution, which came to fruition through our collaboration with NEC, is a strong validation of Openwave?s continued leadership in the location-based services market.”
