ALOQA LBS Platform selected for the Sierra Wireless - Wavefront Developer Program
ALOQA has been selected as the only company from Europe to participate in the second phase of the Sierra Wireless - Wavefront Developer Program. NAVTEQ and DigitalGlobe are supporting the program.Sierra Wireless - Wavefront Developer Program:
"The six-month program is to find best-in-class enterprise or consumer applications that take advantage of the mobile broadband and GPS capabilities built into Sierra Wireless PC cards, ExpressCards, and USB modems. As part of Phase 1, written applications were submitted by groups focusing in all sectors of the developer community, including those developing for Location Based Services (LBS), New Media and Social Networking. Phase 2 involves the participants creating working prototypes of their applications. All will be given a Sierra Wireless software development kit, wireless aircard, and support from Sierra Wireless and Wavefront to assist in building their applications. The developers will also have access to Wavefront’s rich mobile business industry knowledge as well as technical knowledge and test environment. Best-in-class winners will be selected in October and will be considered for incorporation on Sierra Wireless AirCards, promotional support, and widespread distribution by major mobile operators."

ALOQA LBS Platform launched today
The ALOQA TraX platform for Location-Based Services (LBSs) enables the simple interchange of location information between LBS participants such as the target person, the user, the LBS provider and the content provider. LBSs can be realized extremely efficiently and with minimal energy requirements using this platform. The platform's USP is that it supports proactivity and push services, detecting spatial events automatically and making them available to other service providers. Events of this kind can pertain to individual persons, such as their leaving or entering zones, or several users, such as recognizing the proximity between two people. With its innovative "push" character the platform adds value to existing services while at the same time creating possibilities for totally new application types. It supports an entire range of position-finding processes such as Cell ID, GPS, WLAN and GSM fingerprinting. It also makes a seamless transition between these technologies possible, with hybrid positioning strategies in mind.The ALOQA platform integrates very well in the existing LBS environment. Due to the provided software libraries and APIs the location-based service developer can completely focus on the application logic and need not to deal with positioning, transmission and correlation of position data. We provide client software for different platforms like J2ME, Android and Blackberry (Windows Mobile will be released soon). The different types of APIs, like Java, Ajax or Web Services enable the developer to easily integrate the provided functionalities into existing mobile application, to create location-based mash-ups or to extend web communities by location-based features.
In our ALOQA LBS Developer Zone you will find documentation of the different APIs, tutorials, example applications und libraries for download.
