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.

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.
