As an increasing share of mobile devices become location-aware, a wide range of location-based services (LBS) such as personal navigation, mobile social networking, and targeted local-advertising are being deployed.

Unfortunately, limitations in underlying position-technologies make LBS less effective and in some cases, unusable - leaving mobile consumers frustrated.

• Cell tower triangulation is not accurate (accuracy ranges between 200m and 1000m)
• GPS has startup (time-to-fix) times of up to 2 minutes
• Both GPS and A-GPS don't work effectively indoors

XPS 2.0, the hybrid positioning system from Skyhook Wireless is the solution.

By combining the unique strengths of GPS, cell tower triangulation and Skyhook's proprietary Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS), XPS 2.0 is able to quickly calculate an accurate location, in all environments.
