TRDO Intrado Inc. (MM)

Intrado Inc. (NASDAQ: TRDO), a global provider of integrated data and telecommunications solutions, today announced the availability of the Intrado(R) Hosted User-Plane Position Determining Entity (PDE), which provides enhanced functionality needed to successfully launch and manage location-based applications. The Intrado User Plane PDE utilizes the most broadly deployed position location solution, resulting in more reliable and precise services. It is capable of accurately identifying a subscriber's location to within five meters -- even working indoors and in dense urban canyons. Initially available for CDMA network-assisted GPS handsets, the Hosted User-Plane PDE supports multiple user-plane application types including MS resident and trusted applications. The Hosted User-Plane PDE features proven A-GPS technology and is compatible with all BREW and J2ME handsets, supplying the functionality to support handset-based location applications. It easily integrates into existing network infrastructure reducing risks and minimizing costs for faster time-to-market. With its open platform, wireless carriers can easily develop new applications or utilize existing content when launching location services. Deploying location services in the Intrado hosted user-plane environment allows wireless carriers to minimize deployment, management and maintenance costs by leveraging the scalability and cost-saving advantages of hosted or outsourced communications services. "The Intrado Hosted User-Plane PDE includes all the network elements necessary to provide location-based services in a commercially proven system that is accurate, reliable and secure," said Steve Adams, senior vice president wireless service delivery group. "By utilizing this outsourced solution wireless carriers are able to reduce the need for in-house resources and technology, enabling faster time-to-market for their LBS applications." Intrado will be demonstrating several location-based applications compatible with its Hosted User-Plane PDE solution at booth #954 during the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2005 event September 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, California.
