TCS Skyhook Wireless Solution

TCS Skyhook Wireless Solution integrates TCS' VoIP E9-1-1 routing and automatic location delivery capabilities with the Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) from Skyhook Wireless to pinpoint the VoIP user’s actual location at the time of the E9-1-1 call.

The benefits of the TCS Skyhook Wireless Solution includes:

Instant location detection - WPS produces an accurate location reading in seconds.

Indoors/outdoor, urban/suburban coverage - WPS relies on short-range Wi-Fi and signal strength readings, providing a more reliable location reading regardless of the environmental conditions.

Leverages existing hardware - Device manufacturers embed Wi-Fi into their entire product portfolios because of the low cost and the multipurpose capabilities.

Comercial location-based services - TCS’ Skyhook Wireless Solution also can be utilized for commercial location-based applications, in addition to emergency services.

Self-provisioned location routing is best suited for static users, while nomadic use is a reality today, and mobile use will be in 2007. The TCS Skyhook Wireless Solution provides an answer by integrating the TCS VoIP E9-1-1 routing capabilities and the WPS from Skyhook Wireless to pinpoint the mobile user’s location at the time of the 9-1-1 call and features the full suite of components necessary for successful routing and data delivery.
