Openwave Systems announced that Canadian mobile operator TELUS has selected Openwave Location Manager - Commercial Edition to help power its TELUS Navigator and TELUS Kid Find services. Openwave Location Manager gathers a subscriber's location from multiple available sources and delivers encrypted data to the Kid Find service, allowing parents to locate their children in real-time from both the web and their TELUS mobile phone. In a similar way, the TELUS Navigator service uses location information to allow subscribers to use their handset to plan their route, search for destinations from over 1.5 million points of interest and get results according to their preferred mode of travel. "We worked closely with TELUS during the deployment phase of this solution to satisfy their specific requirements," said John Trobough, vice-president of mobile infrastructure for Openwave. "By deploying our solution, TELUS benefits from our broad industry experience and market-leading position - more transactions go through our infrastructure than any other location infrastructure in the world." "Providing clients with innovative products and services that make their lives simpler is a priority for TELUS. TELUS Navigator and Kid Find help subscribers locate destinations and family right from a mobile phone or computer, thereby helping provide peace of mind." said Robert Blumenthal, TELUS' senior vice-president of Products and Services. "With Openwave Location Manager Commercial Edition, we're confident that we are equipped with the controls necessary to secure our subscriber's location when they are using TELUS Navigator or Kid Find."
