LONDON-Software and solutions company MI International said it launched a new location service in the United Kingdom, allowing users to track mobile-phone owners.
MI said it will sell the service exclusively through The Carphone Warehouse.
The new service, named MapAmobile, locates mobile-phone users through wireless networks and works over Vodafone’s, MmO2’s and Orange’s GSM networks. MI said the service will address privacy concerns through text messaging alerts, allowing users to opt in to the service.
In other location-services news, fleet management company WebTech Wireless said it scored a deal with STS L.L.C. to provide underground utility location services.
