Turn-key hosted location based services

With our hosted map and content service it is straightforward to package your content in modern location based services. We provide low cost turn-key projects including data integration, application development and hosting. The business model is adapted from case to case.

Up to 20 times less data than competitors

Our development framework supports development of location based services for the majority of mobile phones in the market including low cost and low performance phones. Particularly efficient handling of maps and other content provides fast, high quality imaging on any device. In addition to the market’s most efficient J2ME map engine, there is support for Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile. iPhone support will be added to the framework in 2010.

With our efficient solution for streaming map data it is possible to provide true worldwide location based services. Data roaming agreements are costly for end users. By building your services on the Faster Imaging framework, end users may save up to 95% on their phone bills.

Powerful and scalable server platform

The Java based server architecture offers improved seamless and scalable provisioning of location based services. The server components include the base map server, the POI server, the Cell ID server, SMS provisioning, geo referenced search, and a management system that also provides detailed user statistics.

Native code for optimal efficiency

The highest performance is obtained when our code executes natively on your terminal. We provide application programming interfaces (SmartMap API) for simple integration with your application. This API is proven from commercial integration projects with customer applications, is simple to use and enable rapid prototyping and shorter time to market for our customers.

Complete Product Suite

Our technology is cross-platform. It can be used in any operating system and is adapted for both server and mobile terminal applications. We provide access to our technology in three ways; directly as a library (SmartMap API), as a development framework (inMAP) or as custom applications solving a particular need. We also provide project and consulting services to integrate our technology with your existing applications and data formats.

Thin clients and Web service integration

Our imaging technology integrates easily in all major server environments including open source tools (such as Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP), Microsoft .NET and Java (JSP and J2EE) web service environments. Content is retrieved from standard image formats, and from database data retrieval. With server-side processing, we support content adaptation to a wide range of mobile terminal platforms, such as HTML, XHTML and WAP.
