Don't Think This Was Posted> U.S. Wireless Unveils CDMA Wireless Caller-Location Solution at CDMA Development Group Forum PRNewswire CDMA RadioCamera Field Trial Results Presented to Wireless Carriers and Other Industry Leaders at Recent CDMA Development Group (CDG) Forum in Baltimore, Maryland SAN RAMON, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- [ U.S. Wireless Corporation ] (Nasdaq: USWC) today announced the successful completion of the first phase of field trial testing of its CDMA RadioCamera(TM), a high-performance wireless caller-location system. Test results were presented at a recent forum of the CDMA Development Group (CDG) in Baltimore, Maryland, where U.S. Wireless demonstrated the ability of the CDMA RadioCamera to successfully locate and track wireless CDMA callers. The CDG is an international industry association comprised of wireless service providers and manufacturers of Code Division Multiple Access systems worldwide. "CDMA deployment is rapidly advancing around the world and represents a sizable market opportunity for location information and value-added services," said Dr. Oliver Hilsenrath, President & Chief Executive Officer at U.S. Wireless. "Wireless traffic in the United States is rapidly converting to digital networks, and we are positioning our CDMA RadioCamera system to capture a significant share of that market." Field trial results presented by U.S. Wireless at the CDG forum were the culmination of a year-long development effort to overcome the unique challenges of locating wireless callers within a digital CDMA network. Live testing was conducted over the course of several weeks in downtown Oakland, California, where test results demonstrated that the CDMA RadioCamera provides accuracy far exceeding the performance required by Phase II of the Federal Communications Commission's E9-1-1 Mandate. The CDMA RadioCamera is being developed as a dual mode system, supporting both digital CDMA and the conventional analog AMPS standard. A CDG carrier- sponsored pilot deployment is planned for later this year in the Baltimore- Washington D.C. area. U.S. Wireless Corporation (http://www.uswcorp.com) is a leading developer and provider of high-performance network-based location systems that enable wireless carriers and others to provide value- added services including wireless Enhanced 911, live navigation assistance, enhanced directory assistance, asset and vehicle monitoring and network management services. The Company's premier product, the RadioCamera system, pinpoints the location of a mobile telephone subscriber within a wireless network using "Location Fingerprinting," a proprietary technology developed by U.S. Wireless. The RadioCamera does not require direct line of sight to multiple base stations to identify locations, making it highly effective in dense urban environments. It integrates easily into the existing network infrastructure and requires no modifications to the base station or subscriber handsets.
