Solution Ideal for Third-Party Private-Labeling and Rapid Deployment of GPS and
LBS Products
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
GPS Core Technologies, a leading provider of global positioning system (GPS) and
location based service (LBS) solutions, today announced its new MobileCore
worldwide tracking solution for GPS-enabled smartphones and LBS products.
MobileCore is a highly scalable, highly customizable mobile smartphone client
that enables the integration of "very close proximity" GPS software into a
brand`s current product or service offerings to perform asset tracking,
workforce and fleet management, consumer behavior monitoring and more. 

Ideal for B2C and B2B application providers, M2M (machine to machine)
distributors, device OEMs, platform providers and data providers, MobileCore is
designed to be private-labeled and tailored to support a brand`s customer
experience and user interface preferences. MobileCore communicates with a wide
variety of commercial and personal devices, and can track locations within a
five- to 15-meter radius in less than nine seconds, providing a far more exact
and timely location than cell triangulation. 

"We enable real-time, 24/7 GPS tracking of people and assets anywhere in the
world, which is vital in increasing workforce productivity, improving customer
service and eliminating unauthorized use of mobile assets," said Sean Watts,
chief executive officer, GPS Core Technologies. "With MobileCore and our other
solutions, we help companies monetize and drive bottom-line revenues from their
GPS implementations." 

MobileCore is compatible with all GPS-enabled Blackberry and Microsoft Windows
Mobile smartphones, and all GPS tracking devices. It resides on the device as a
"persistent application" that cannot be stopped by an end user. Despite being
"always on," MobileCore consumes less than 15 percent of a phone`s battery life
with five-minute location updates over a 24-hour period. 

St. Louis-based Agilis Systems recently partnered with GPS Core Technologies to
incorporate MobileCore into its suite of industry-leading Mobile Resource
Management solutions. "MobileCore and its customizable architecture played a
vital role in enabling us to quickly deliver our Software Solutions Suite for
mobilizing business operations," said Greg Winter, Agilis Vice President -
Operations. "The Suite helps our customers make informed senior management
decisions, better manage mobile resources, improve internal and field workforce
productivity, decrease capital and operating costs, and enhance customer
satisfaction." 

A wide array of companies has incorporated or integrated GPS Core Technologies
solutions into their own offerings, including: Wireless Rain, a complete
business-to-business wireless IT and managed services provider; GPS Toyz, a
leading provider of GPS devices and mapping solution; RAStrac, an automatic
vehicle location software provider with thousands of worldwide users; and GPS
Tracking Specialists, a real-time GPS tracking service that locates and tracks
teen drivers, family members, employees, fleets, equipment and shipments. 

According to Watts, the typical timeframe for integrating MobileCore`s GPS and
LBS software into a customer`s product or service is less than five days. When
integrating MobileCore, there are no upfront software costs or server
maintenance issues. When new mobile devices come to market that need to be
tracked, GPS Core Technologies can create a "listener" that relays telemetry
information for that specific model within 24 hours, thereby "future-proofing"
any system built on MobileCore. 

GPS Core Technologies provides professional care support that serves as
technical assistance for the company`s customers and their clients.
