Location Services Market Vision


Location everywhere for tracking, interacting and transacting Social, Retail, Safety
Meet up w/ friends at the mall, sports events, conventions, concerts, etc., Keep track of kids & elder parents, Automatically tag posts & pics from favorite locations. Mobile Payments (verification, greetings)

Tracking
Tracking airline luggage, high value portable assets, remote monitoring

Security, Enterprise
Locate and secure the information on lost mobile devices, geo-fencing to restrict or enable access, store & retrieve location information via the cloud Find local games and gamers to compete with, Your avatar moves as you move, Get directed to outdoor or indoor places in city, neighborhood, etc.

Gaming

Some Numbers
Mobile Enterprise TAM $12B End point Security market $9.8B Mobile Device Management $1.2B Scope: 100M Smart Phones & Tablets sold to Enterprise in US and EU

Asset Tracking TAM $5B Service Revenue 82M Modules* Asset Tracking, Auto, Vending, Shipping, etc. Assume $5/M/D Consumer LBS TAM $20B Navigation, Local Search, people locating, mobile payments ~$10B Locations based Gaming $9.8B

Challenges : Many Markets, One Solution

Position delivery is no longer sufficient


Has to operate across the whole eco-system end-to-end solution. Location (semantic) probably as important as Position 3-1000m accuracy

User Location Information is sensitive


any usage (especially harvesting) done with authorisation, anonymously.

Ubiquity of solution
Location anywhere, everywhere, 100% Yield, seamless transitions Outdoors, Urban-Canyon, In-doors. Single Technology solution cannot be the answer. Dedicated (tags) and Generic Platforms (Phone, Smart Phone, Tablet, PC)

Real Time (location, analytic, triggering) Scalability


System must be capable of handling large amount of request (+1000 TPS scalable) Cloud based solutions. Location Solution must be deployable anywhere (surveying is unlikely to be always acceptable or possible).
