Every now and then the memory works! "NTT DoCoMo has rolled out the SnapTrack technology from Qualcomm whereas Vodafone has trialed the E-OTD service from Cambridge Positioning Systems, a technology type that was selected early by LIF." Vodafone and DoCoMo Battle it out over Location Standards 10 September 2001 From Simon Buckingham of Mobile Streams The mobile location industry is one of the most hyped and least real sectors of mobile services. A year ago, the Location Interoperability Forum (LIF) was set up by major handset vendors to try to set common standards to unify the location market. A year on and a look at the most recent LIF meetings held last week show how much work there is still to do. At the LIF meetings held in Aventura (Florida) USA on the 5th and 6th of September, NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone crossed swords as they tried to have there own preferred location standards adopted by the LIF. NTT DoCoMo has rolled out the SnapTrack technology from Qualcomm whereas Vodafone has trialed the E-OTD service from Cambridge Positioning Systems, a technology type that was selected early by LIF. The two companies are keen to see their own technology standards adopted and are backing different technology choices. The two major network operator groups are lobbying to get their own standards for the location market fully excepted. Meanwhile the market is in limbo as operators do not invest and location suppliers go out of business. And once the standards are set, it is difficult to see much end user interest in location services. The mobile location market cannot be found, but the positioning and posturing goes on regardless. mobilelifestreams.com.
