DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced it is
supplying the digital imagery for enhanced navigation solutions
from three Chinese companies: China Mobile, YF International, and
Hazens. These developments extend DigitalGlobe's worldwide lead in
the consumer market, where up-to-date imagery can add a new layer
of reality to navigation and location based solutions.
"The opportunity to supply imagery to China Mobile, the world's
largest mobile operator with more than 500 million subscribers, is
a significant development for the company and for next generation
mobile navigation solutions in the region," said DigitalGlobe's
Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales Rafay Khan. "High
resolution, regularly refreshed imagery from DigitalGlobe can help
China Mobile subscribers get a clearer view of where they are and
what is around them. We are excited to deliver a strong foundation
for even more useful location-based solutions in one of the world's
most dynamic consumer markets."
Satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe will be used in China
Mobile's turn-by-turn navigation service, GIS/fleet management
service and standalone map viewer offering. The imagery will be
coupled with map content from China's largest navigation map
provider, NavInfo, and delivered as an enhanced service to China
Mobile subscribers.
DigitalGlobe imagery is also being used by YF International and
Hazens in their newest navigation products. YF International is
China's leading personal navigation solution provider. DigitalGlobe
imagery will be integrated within the company's ACCO personal
navigation device and the Golden Dolphin aftermarket embedded car
navigation system. Hazens is China's leading PC-based navigation
supplier. Its next generation Car Personal Computer features
satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe. The solution combines
hardware, software and digital imagery in an embedded PC for
automotive navigation.
Khan said these imagery-enhanced products answer consumer need
for clearer views for navigation and routing across a range of
devices and applications. "DigitalGlobe can now help to ensure they
have access to imagery, wherever they go."
