“GPStream SUPL LE is a lightweight service designed to simply respond to a terminal’s request for assistance and does away with network initiated features typically found in full-blown SUPL implementations in carrier networks,” said Dave Cayer, Vice President Marketing of Rx Networks. “This allows mobile terminal vendors and LBS providers to always deliver fast GPS start ups with the highest quality user experience even if mobile operators have not deployed a SUPL service or if their business requires operation across multiple operator networks.”

Rx Networks enables flexible business models and GPStream SUPL LE service can be licensed on a usage or a lifetime subscription basis. For customers desiring an end to end SUPL solution, Rx Networks also provides a SUPL 1.0 mobile client compatible with most operating systems as part of its GPStream Mobile Suite GPS acceleration solutions.
