TrackWell Software and Oy Radiolinja Ab have signed a development and marketing agreement on launching several TrackWell location based services in Finland and to co-operate on new location based services concepts and services in the future.

In recent months Radiolinja has been preparing and testing its mobile network for TrackWell's Location Based technology, and is preparing a launch of location based services for both their corporate and consumer customers.

Radiolinja is now testing the positioning system with customers both from the public and private sectors and those testing have brought very positive experiences: The customers have not only been able to increase the security of their personnel by means of positioning but also improved their operational business activities.

TrackWell began developing location based services in 1996 for various wireless communication networks and is therefore well prepared to offer Radiolinja customers mobile internet services that are relevant to their location. TrackWell's main product areas include security, logistic, resource management, community-based services, mobile entertainment and games.

"The agreement with TrackWell allows us to implement and launch state-of-the-art location based services while sharing the cost of development with one of the leading software companies in this field," says Hannu Turunen, vice president of Radiolinja's Telematics business unit. "Through this cooperation we aim at being the leading provider of location based services in our markets."

"This contract that has been made with Oy Radiolinja Ab on development and marketing is of extreme value for us," says Agust Einarsson, CEO of TrackWell Software. "The agreement gives us an access to a highly sophisticated mobile market, a market where we can offer and develop our location based services in close co-operation with Oy Radiolinja."
