Berwyn, PA – TruePosition, Inc., a leading provider of wireless location technologies and solutions and a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, today announced that it was awarded a multimillion dollar contract for its TruePosition Location Platform to be used for national security purposes.
The TruePosition Location Platform is a wireless location determination system, which can be tailored to meet the performance needs of the customer or application. For this national security solution, the location technology being deployed is Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA). Renowned for its ability to accurately and reliably locate any mobile phone in any environment, including indoors, U-TDOA is currently used across the United States to locate emergency 9-1-1 phone calls dialled by mobile subscribers. Today, U-TDOA protects more than 100 million citizens and locates more than five million wireless 9-1-1 phone calls each month.
“U-TDOA is mostly known in public safety circles for its ability to locate mobile subscribers when they dial their nation’s emergency number like 9-1-1 in the United States or 1-1-2 in Europe,” noted Christopher Polito, Senior Vice President of Global Sales. “In this instance, however, U-TDOA will be used as a way to accurately locate mobile phones in a designated area to detect suspicious activity in order to help prevent and solve crimes, secure areas, and protect critical infrastructure.”
“This new agreement underscores the fact that the highly accurate, highly reliable nature of the performance of U-TDOA makes iteally suited to meet the stringent requirements of location-based, mission-critical national security applications,” added Stephen Stuut, Chief Executive Officer for TruePosition. “We are pleased that the capabilities of U-TDOA have been recognized by those in the defense and national security communities.”
TruePosition was selected because of its unrivaled experience and expertise in designing and deploying location-based safety and security solutions. The deployment of the hardware and software will commence immediately, and once fully deployed, will protect millions of people within the coverage area.
