Intelligent Gateway Mobile location based services provide information about the geographic location and enable the system to collect and use or share location (latitude and longitude) information for connecting UEs in support of a variety of location services. Accurate location-based services (LBS), GMLC are the basic need for many public & business operations such as disaster management, emergency services, lawful Interception , fleet management, and various other value-added services to fulfill the market needs.
For many years, Satellite-based GPS (Global Positioning System), assisted GPS (A-GPS), NAVIK, and other systems have been introduced within mobile devices that use cellular services to track devices by their Cell ID (CID). But these methods have limitations in their own way to track devices.
Also, many Communication/Telecom Service Providers are non-compliant to the LCS
requirement for emergency services as mandated by Government Regulators and also have not yet scratched the top of the potential of the location services for commercial activities.
PertSol iGMLC is a part of PertSol’s complete location-based services, which define the process of mapping the received coordinates (latitude and longitude) in a well-defined universal format, to the geographical area and sending this information back to the requested services.
iGMLC is the first point of contact for an external LCS client in a PLMN. On receiving a location request for a mobile user, iGMLC requests routing information from HLR/HSS. After performing registration authorization, it sends positioning requests to either VMSC, SGSN, MSC or MME and receives the final location estimates from the corresponding entity.
iGMLC’s flexible integration adapters allows it to integrate with other GMLCs to identify the location of roaming subscribers.
iGMLC also has in-built Location Retrieval Function (LRF) which is responsible for retrieval or validation of location information. It also provides routing and/or correlation information of an UE that has initiated an IMS Emergency session. Currently, iGMLC supports location-based services in GSM (2G), UMTS (3G), and LTE interception(4G) networks, with roadmap for 5G network support. It supports 3GPP as well OMA standards for Location based services.
