TAMPA, Fla.-A group of Code Division Multiple Access carriers, handset vendors and technology providers completed a trial of SnapTrack’s handset-based location system on two wireless networks in Tampa, Fla.
The companies tested prototype handsets from Motorola Inc. and Samsung that used SnapTrack’s enhanced global positioning system technology. The trials on GTE Wireless’ cellular network and Sprint PCS’ personal communications services network included more than 8,000 test calls made under a variety of conditions, said the company. The trials were conducted as part of the CDMA Development Group’s Location Technology Team. SnapTrack said its system exceeded Federal Communications Commission requirements during the trial.
