Gone are the days when location was a feature only of interest to mobile operators. Industry trends towards fixed/mobile and private/public application convergence are transforming location into an all-round service enabler, which drives the usage rate of value-added applications across mobile, fixed, enterprise and vertical markets. Coordinating positioning requests from a common location server across public (mobile & fixed) and private access environments is seen as the most appropriate model to successfully address location-based services from a user-centric perspective in tomorrow's fixed/mobile converged world. This paper describes Alcatel's end-to-end location-based services architecture, and outlines the technical functionality behind the different positioning technologies supported.
