Andrew upgrades GeoLENs Location Platform

Andrew Solutions has added new capabilities in Version 10 of its GeoLENs mobile location center (MLC), the flexible system platform of its GeoLENs wireless and wireline location solution.

With Version 10, Andrew's GeoLENs MLC increases in processing capacity by several orders of magnitude. MLC 10 also gives operators the tools to monetize their investment in location infrastructure, enabling greater control over access to the network's location resources. Additional features help improve the performance of Assisted-GPS (A-GPS) for E-911 applications.

John Baker, vice president and general manager, Network Solutions, Andrew, said, “Location is increasingly considered to be a value-add in wireless networks, and we see no abatement in this trend. Demand for accurate and consistent location information is rising with the increased use of navigation, social networking, and points of interest applications. GeoLENs MLC 10 helps wireless operators control bandwidth use and prepares them to meet growing demand while retaining the ability to effectively support emergency calling needs.”
