[February 04, 2010] 'EMT Estonia completes live 3G test of BlueSky's A-GPS' Tweet Feb 04, 2010 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- EMT Estonia has completed its initial field testing of BlueSky Positioning's A-GPS technology. The tests were conducted using both GPRS and USSD for retrieving assistance data in a live 3G network. The tests were carried out with handsets varying from low end 2G to high end 3.5G. Future testing will cover a range of handsets and scenarios including various weather conditions, in urban and rural landscapes and using entry level handsets and smartphones. Running parallel to this testing, new services and business models will be finalised in readiness for a mass market launch by EMT. BlueSky Positioning's A-GPS technology is completely embedded into a phone's SIM card. The A-GPS SIM technology offers accurate positioning information when an emergency call is made from the phone, as required by E112 in the EU and E911 legislation in the US. The range of location based applications that can be offered with this combined A-GPS SIM technology, include generic LBS such as navigation, social networking, child tracking or applications such as workforce and fleet management.
