Solutions
OOTAY® Services
 OOTAY® person
location services is based on location platform that is accessible via internet
and WAP or iMode telephone and integrates all the basic services for implementing
a compliant location service (cf.
European Directive 2002/58/EC).
The location technology of the mobile terminals available are Cell-ID and A-GPS.
 Location through
Cell-Id
This method known as the "cell proximity" is the simplest
location solution and it is compatible with all existing mobile terminals and the
majority of telecom operators have already opted for it. Their mobile network is
made up of sets of base stations/BTS (relay antennas) that exchange signals with
the cellular phones situated in their radio coverage area, also known as radio cells.
As a result, the operator knows what station services each of its clients. With
the help of this information together with the geographical characteristics of the
cell, it is possible to determine the approximate location of a user (a few 100
meters / 328 ft.) in an urban area to several kilometers (miles) in a rural area.
Sometimes it is possible to improve the Cell-ID location solution by using different
data and particularly additional measurement that is a ratio of the propagation
time which itself is proportional to the distance between the base station and the
cellular phone (Cell-Id+). The possible location area of the cellular phone is thus
reduced to a ring radius of 100 to 300 meters (328 to 984 ft.) in an urban area
and 300 meters (984 ft.) to 3 km. (1.86 miles) in a rural area.
 Location through A-GPS
A-GPS (Assisted Global Positioning System or network assisted
GPS). This method uses mobile network to transmit assistance data to the terminal
(differential correction data, ephemera and clock correction data,…). The LMUs reference
antennas constantly measure satellite signals and transmit the data of a geographical
area. Assisted GPS technology is based on 24 American satellites that orbit the
earth on a ground server and LMUs. The response time of conventional GPS is thus
greatly reduced to less than a minute, because thanks to the reference antenna,
the telephone "hooks up" directly with useful satellites. However, several constraints
still remain: only the newer A-GPS terminals can be used, and the availability of
the network is limited in a dense urban area. The location accuracy is about 50
meters (164 ft.) in a dense urban area and a few meters (ft.) in an open area.
OOTAY® platform
 Ilico.net
OOTAY® platform is based on high availability architecture with uninterrupted
service that enables us to provide location services with excellent availability
trusted by thousands of users.
All of our solutions are developed by our R&D department mainly on Microsoft technologies.
The architecture of OOTAY® platform is as follows :
Lastly, the operation of our platform is outsourced under the host company Internet.fr
(ISO 9001).
R&D
 The R&D activity is aimed at developing innovative person location solutions that
are easy to use, multi-channel and that are in accordance with the applicable laws.
Ilico.net carries out its innovations with unlisted persons location processes that
are patent protected (Patent application no. 0407946 at INPI – The National Institute
of Intellectual Property).
This patent elucidates a new location process between two people from their cellular
phones by using a minimum of exchanges, based for example, on SMS for requesting
location, authorizing location and paying the location with a simple transaction
ticket.
