Cingular selects TCS as a location technology provider

Cingular Wireless has selected the TeleCommunication Systems’s (TCS) Xypoint Location Platform as one of the vendors providing support for the company's Phase I and II wireless E911 location service.

Under the agreement, TCS will provide database services and routers to Cingular Wireless for E911 location services.

The Xypoint Location Platform integrates location, presence and privacy technologies into one technical solution, thus enabling wireless carriers to migrate from providing E911 service to offering a full complement of commercial location services. In addition to its technical platform, the TCS wireless E911 solution provides carriers with end-to-end support including switch integration and Geographic Information Services (GIS) database management, state and local regulatory compliance expertise, and administrative management and deployment.

With the Xypoint systems Public Safety Answering Points receive the cell site location, 10-digit callback number, name of the wireless carrier, and community or neighborhood of call origination, in other words data critical to finding callers in distress.
