CommScope boosts LBS

CommScope unveils a software, GeoLENs portfolio of solutions to support Location Based Sevices (LBS). GeoLENs Mobile Location Center (MLC) 10.3 gives wireless operators the ability to accurately and reliably locate mobile devices connected to LTE networks.

This software helps them to drive revenue as LTE network deployments continue to increase and helps to provide personalized services to mobile subscribers.

“As operators migrate to higher-bandwidth LTE technology, they remain committed to providing subscribers with the same kinds of location-based services (LBS) that proved successful in 2G and 3G domains,” said John Baker, senior vice president of Network Solutions, CommScope. He added, “With our latest GeoLENs upgrade, there's now a seamless, cost-effective way to add LTE location capability to an existing 2G/3G deployment and immediately extend current LBS offerings in an LTE environment.”

GeoLENs MLC supports combinations of handset-based, network-based and hybrid location technologies. The locating methods and procedures available are selected by the network operator and can be augmented as the network evolves. GeoLENs MLC 10.3 allows seamless upgrade of any existing CommScope location solution with no new hardware and is non-service affecting.
