Middleware: GeoFencing Platform

Genasys GeoFencing platform allows to control when the users enter or exit from particular areas

It can be complemented with mobile components and/or integrated with passive location systems e.g. Traffica

Therefore makes possible new services as Location Based Advertising or 112 Warning Systems

Middleware: Main Components

Public/ Private API

Complete set of services to:

• Develop any location application

• Internal control

Benefits:

• Minimizes developing time and costs

• Maximizes services added value

Security

Authentication:

• IP filtering and secure communications

• Access control per application

Authorization:

• Permission management and lists (black/white)

• Control of the available credits and payments

Privacy

Essential to fulfill law requirements

Location parameters:

• Locatable (per service), schedules…

User notification (essential):

• Informed consent

Privacy control tools for the user

System Tools

Complete set of tools:

• Application Provisioning

• System Administration

• Monitoring

• Statistics

Middleware: GeoServer-FRACS

The GeoServer Component enables advanced spatial services• Simultaneous management of

several external data sources: carto providers, points of interest, customer’s carto, etc.

• Direct and inverse geo-code• Delivery of maps in the requested

format• Information layer management• Overlapping of figures and

geometric analysis• Searching of elements inside a

particular area• Fractal Models: adding value to the

location data to make it more understandable to the user

Middleware: GeoFencing Server

The GeoFencing server is the key system of the geofencing platform

Alert zone definition• Several areas for a particular alert• Dynamic alert zones• Any geometrical figure

Smart tracking management:• Dynamic re-location period• Different location technologies

depending on the distance to the alert area

Integration of passive location sources (Presence Servers)

Control of the notification to the users

Multi triggering conditions

Middleware: Positioning Broker

Connection to any available location source, selecting the most suitable in each case: • Control Plane Location Servers: GMLC,

Tetrapol, A-GPS, Mobility Gateways• GPS devices• Mobile components (User Plane)

Location source selection depending on the application, its availability and the business model

Deploying components on the device (GMPB y SIM Locator):• Location sources of the device: GPS,

WiFi• Advanced indoor location• Global location, in every country

GMPB: Genasys Mobile Positioning Broker

GMPB

• Installed on the Operating System

• Location Tech: Server CGI, GPS, WiFi , NFC

• Global roaming location

• Interface with:

• Server Side: SMS/GPRS (Push)

• Internal LBS Applications (SDK library)

• QoP Mgr: Allowing the Selection of loc. Technology available

• Minimize battery consume (GPS Track Time)

• Alarm Zone defined by list of Cells and Circular Area (Point/Radius)

• Installed on the SIM Card (OTA)

• Location Tech: Server CGI, enhanced with TA and RxLev, and using information about neighborhood cells.

• Global roaming location with GBS

• Interface with the Server Side based on SMS

GBS: Genasys Base Station Server

GBS makes possible to locate mobile users

• Independently of their MNOs • Globally, no matter the country

they are located

For MNOs it is the opportunity to improve their location accuracy:

• CGI Location data more accurate than MNO’s

• WiFi Location

Reliable, as it can be connected to several data providers

BTS_Cache to minimize response delays

HAZ: Application Development Engine

“HAZ”, platform for a fast deployment of applications

High added value: • Location: one-time, tracks• Multi location technologies: CGI,

GPS, WiFi, NFC• Presence control• Real time events management• Tasks and activity management• Messaging

Makes easier the integration with customer’s systems (ERPs, CRMs, etc.)

Quick deployment, web control interfaces
