CPS AND eClip TARGET BOOMING MALAYSIAN MARKET WITH NEW MATRIX-DRIVEN LOCATION BASED SERVICES
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Cambridge, UK, -/11 March, 2005 - The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- CPS (Cambridge Positioning Systems Ltd) announced its partnership with mobile value added service provider eClip Wireless Portal in launching new enterprise-focused high accuracy location based services for the vibrant Malaysian mobile market.
The two companies will target corporate users with a range of telematics and asset tracking services based on CPS’s Matrix location technology. eClip, which is based in Kuala Lumpur, already offers a range of mobile data services in Malaysia and is looking to expand into other parts of the region.
eClip believes strongly in the CPS Matrix LBS Solution, which includes client and server software, offers sub-100m accuracy in all environments, rapid location fixes and low deployments costs – key factors that attracted eClip.
eClip CEO, Dato’ M. Redzuan Kushairi said that in the last two years there has been a very encouraging growth in the mobile data services market in Malaysia and there is a strong demand for location based services.
He said: “We know that we must offer a wider range of LBS applications – based on higher accuracy – to meet end user needs and build confidence in our ability to deliver quality and dependable LBS services. Matrix offers us that opportunity – it combines low cost, ease of deployment, scalability and reliability – and we are very excited about its potential to help drive new service offerings and make LBS a success in Malaysia”
CPS CEO Chris Wade said: “eClip came to us because of the potential of the LBS market in Malaysia, but hampered by the limitations of Cell-ID technology. They want a solution that delivers reliable, repeatable high accuracy everywhere – it’s what their customers expect of a location technology.
“eClip is already well established – and well-connected – in the Malaysian mobile market which is experiencing a boom in subscriber numbers and demand for innovative new mobile data services. Through our work to date with them, we believe there are real shared goals in bringing a new generation of location-based offerings to this exciting new market.”
