AGILE project kicks off

Date: 17 October 2005

The Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) funded “Application of Galileo In the LBS Environment” - (AGILE) project officially kicked off in Brussels on 12 October 2005, at the LogicaCMG premises. The full consortium met the client, GJU, for the official start of the project activities.

This 2-year project will lead the way in introducing next-generation satellite navigation (satnav) technologies into mass-market Location-Based Services (LBS) – which use a mobile telephone’s position as part of value-added services, such as emergency response, traffic information, local shopping details or a child locator.  Almost half of the funding is being provided by the industrial partners, which demonstrates the strategic, commercial importance of the project.

Agile puts together a world-class industrial consortium of 18 companies and organisations from ten European countries covering all links in the LBS value chain.
