^{Positioning and service platforms integrate} Trueposition Partners with Sirf

In an effort to broaden and accelerate the deployment of location-based services (LBS), SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. and TruePosition, Inc., will collaborate on the integration of SiRFLoc — SiRF’s patented, multimode A-GPS architecture — into TruePosition’s location services platform, TrueNorth MLS (Managed Location Services). The anticipated result is that wireless operators can now deliver a LBS offering more quickly and cost-effectively, with greater levels of accuracy and yield. Consumers, in turn, will benefit from reliable and ubiquitous services even in the most challenging of conditions. TruePosition and SiRF will work to deliver these solutions to carriers on a global basis. TrueNorth MLS is location based services platform offering operators a turnkey, end-to-end solution with minimal up-front capital investment and full maintenance and platform management services. SiRF provides carrier-grade, standards-compliant assisted GPS (A-GPS) location server technology with its SiRFLoc Multimode Location software. SiRFLoc will power TrueNorth MLS with a standards-compliant control plane and secure user plane location (SUPL) solution. This MLS platform can be deployed within an operator’s network or hosted as a managed service by infrastructure suppliers such as TruePosition.
