Seeker Wireless in Sydney (and UK) offer a number of products in the LBS field.
Mapping
Why would I want to use LBS mapping services ?If you are a courier or delivery company, or someone who has a large fleet of mobile workers then you can improve your business efficiency with the ability to plot their location on a map.
Aggregation
What is LBS aggregation ?Each carrier has the ability to locate their own subscribers (with permission) utilising a range of technologies. Network equipment vendors such as Ericsson, Nokia and Lucent have developed gateways to convert location information into usable data. Unfortunately, each carrier will have their own information, presented in a sightly different format depending on the type of network deployment.
In addition, companies wishing to locate mobiles across a range of networks may have to develop LBS connection feeds with all carriers, and maintain separate interfaces.As customers 'port' from one network to another, a database needs to be maintained to that a location request is directed at the right network.
Unfortunately not much of an update since April 2005 - a press release here and documentation here including mobile positioning whitepaper.
