CALGARY, Canada-Location services provider Cell-Loc Inc. announced it will team with Nortel Networks to trial voice-activated, wireless location-sensitive services in Austin, Texas.
The trial is an attempt to demonstrate both companies’ ability to combine new wireless and Internet protocol technologies for location-based services. The service will include Nortel’s Voice Navigation System and National Directory Assistance with Cell-Loc’s position collection and distribution system.
“This trial and our relationship with Nortel Networks reinforces Cell-Loc’s commitment to creating the location-services space,” said Michel Fattouche, the company’s president and chief executive officer.
The trial is scheduled for April.
Cell-Loc has seen rough waters lately, with restructuring efforts and layoffs.
