Adjungo
Networks
(formerly
Commagine)
Company Website
Adjungo
Networks. develops and markets platform solutions integrating standard
cellular "native" networks (current and future like GSM, GPRS, 3G)
with "non native" wireless networks (like IEEE 802.11x Wireless LAN
and Bluetooth networks). The company develops a
set
of solutions that enables interconnection of these non-native networks in
public / private covered areas (hot spots) into the native networks in such a
way that service provisioning, quality of service, authentication, encryption
and billing are well controlled and integrated with the high-standards of the
carrier's native network. Products include a set of standard
reliable hardware with proprietary software for centralized service management
and provisioning.
Local and nationwide carriers
or nationwide content providers can offer a very-high-speed and content-rich
services to selected condensed areas (hot spots) as part of their nationwide
footprint coverage, to all the carrier's subscribers without any additional
change in their service plan, end-unit configuration or additional billing
arrangements.

LocalNavigator
Platform. The LN Core is the engine of the LocalNavigator, generating
location events for a predefined area. When a mobile device, such as a PDA
or mobile phone, changes location, the LN Core checks if any of the
location-based events in which clients have expressed an interest have
occurred. If they have, the LN Core sends notifications to the interested
client(s). The LN Core provides two general types of service, firstly delivering
notifications when a certain location event occurs, e.g ”tell me when
Jane enters her office”, or secondly processing a wide range of explicit
location queries from the client, e.g. ”where is Jane now?”. See
picture of Platform Diagram.
