Press Release
The SK Telecom LBS project has finished testing a positioning system using GPS and will start the service the first part of this Year.
This system will provide ?Mobil Security Service?in cooperation with the S1 Corporation.
The provision of SK Telecom ?Next Generation LBS(Location-Based Service)? is gearing up for full scale operation.
On the 28th of January SK Telecom (www.sktelecom.com) announced a ?Next Generation LBS? that uses a GPS(Global Positioning System). A positioning solution test has been successfully completed, and will be initiated as a pilot service the first part of this year.
The next generation LBS is a more advanced service than existing Positioning Information Services because it allows positioning using terminal units. By adapting GPS, it enables the positioning of the users’ location more precisely, and provides varied information that fits in with the location (such as a map and entertainment).
SK Telecom entered a strategic cooperative affiliation with the security company S1 to provide ?Mobile Security Service? which is one aspect of the next generation LBS.
Mobil Security Service is a personal protection emergency dispatching service. When the customer who has a GPS Terminal is in an emergency situation, or has need for help of any kind, they simply press the emergency button, then the customer’s location is instantly reported to a control center that dispatches help, or needed information. It can also be useful to locate children, protect them against such hazards as school violence or stalkers, and to aid old and weak people.
SK Telecom will include a GPS(Global Positioning System) in all the terminals produced in the future, and provide varied next generation positioning information services such as location and transport information. In addition to the mobile security service, the company will also upgrade and strengthen existing NATE Positioning Information Services, such as searching for lost friends, and neighborhood area events information. In addition, the company will expand this service to PDA’s and VMT(Vehicle Mounted Terminals).
Because of the advent of next generation LBS, all kinds of cutting-edge convenient positioning services are brought into our life. Here are a few examples: When friends are in a neighborhood, the system reports their position automatically. You are able to inform others of your own location with a simple message and map. In emergency situations while driving a vehicle, you can get suitable and customized services according to its situation and location, or related to insurance company requirements.
SK Telecom has developed a positioning system that can locate you within 30m in areas without barriers and more than 4 lane roads, within 120m in residential, commercial, and city areas, and within 400m when in a building. The company will provide a model service in time for the World Cup Football Games.
