Company Profile
History
 Ilico.net
was founded at the beginning of 2004 with private funds to create and market location
services (person tracking) in order to respond to people’s growing need for safety
as well as to provide secured location information for use by third party applications
[The person location industry in the USA involves 98 million people and represents
a $1.2 billion market– Source : Studies carried out in 2004 by D.Tilson from the
University of Cleveland, Ohio – USA].
Ilico.net created person location services that respect people’s privacy in accordance
with European directives, the rules and regulations of each European country as
well as the Codes of Practice of the various cellular phone operators. The location
services are based on locating cellular phones and individual terminal with proven
success rates that stretch across all age brackets (Over 452 million GSMs in Europe
– Source: EMC World Cellular Database).
Ilico.net created and operates a location service platform since mid-2004 for locating
cellular phones through Cell-ID/Cell-Id+, that initially operated in France, then
in Belgium, England and Germany. Ilico.net can also locate the phones of the new
A-GPS cellular phone generation.
Ilico.net formed strategic partnerships with leading distributors of cellular phones
and telecommunications equipment in order to market its location services.
Ilico.net boasts several thousand clients in Europe to date who track their children
and it obtained the status of Jeune Entreprise Innovante (JEI) / Young Innovative
Company in 2004.
Our vision
 Tracking people enables the reduction of the risks of people in dangerous situations
considerably (old people, health care providers, children, etc.). The use of location
services by a worried parent is very ideal when the latter cannot link their child
on its cellular phone.
The use of person location services for dependent and / or old persons is also ideal
for people who are responsible for them.
The health care, security as well as insurance and welfare industries are seeking
innovative solutions to enable them to meet their emergencies. The Child Locating
industry in particular is estimated at more than 10 million children in Europe and
15% of families in France with a child who has a cellular phone indicated their
willingness to locate their child [Source: ilico.net].
The Entertainment industry in the broader sense, represents an enormous potential
for locating people, or even Friend Finding, used particularly for dating, wireless
chat, role plays, etc.
In short, locating people is a service that is rapidly becoming commonplace in universal
directory services (for ex. : no. 118 in France) or emergency calls (for ex. : no.
112 in Europe).
Ilico.net developed a location services platform that is both open to integration
with third party systems (terminals, phone books, etc.) as well as modular for responding
to specific needs of the market and regulations with regard to European countries.
