A new company called GloPos has launched a software-only positioning technology enabling location applications to show the exact position of any cell phone, outdoors, indoors, and even underground. GloPos requires only a cellular network – no GPS or W-LAN needed, does not consume any extra battery life, and is completely operator-independent. The company claims its patent-pending technology will revolutionize the indoor positioning and social location market by enabling brands and businesses to launch the location-based mobile search and advertising market to a whole new level. The company is also positioning its technology as enabling mobile device vendors to offer indoor positioning to any mobile phone, thus expanding their market significantly. GloPos was founded in 2009 as a spin-off of 4TS Corporation, a Finland-based company that develops location- and sensor-based technologies and solutions. GloPos co-founders have over 20 years combined mobile experience with Nokia and Ericsson. CEO Mikael Vainio brings to GloPos more than a decade of executive experience with Nokia and Ericsson. Before joining GloPos, he served in Ericsson Middle East HQ as Vice President Strategy, Marketing and Communications. Vice-President Alexander Le Bell has held executive positions with leading mobile and technology companies, including Ericsson, Nokia and Philips. He was Ericsson's Director for Strategy and Business Intelligence for the Middle East. Prior to that he served in Nokia Multimedia, managing the operator business in Central Europe with some of the largest operators in the world, including T-Mobile, Vodafone and O2-Telefonica.
