Andrew released the world's first positioning protection server

Andrew SoluTIons, a subsidiary of CommScope, is a global leader in wireless communication systems and products. A new set of solutions, GeoLENs strategy server, has been released to help operators locate information for their network users. Security, protection and management.

GeoLENs Strategy Server is a single solution dedicated to managing a complete network strategy based on location services. Whether the command is issued by a user or an IP-based wireless or wired network, GeoLENs policy server can ensure the security of positioning data. It can provide security protection for users who want to protect their privacy, while allowing operators to establish and implement access policies.

John Baker, vice president and general manager of Andrew's Network Solutions Department, said: "We believe that most network systems will eventually need to be equipped with this positioning data protection function. Andrew can be the first to launch this product, and We are very proud of our customers and we are very proud of it. At the same time, we expect that GeoLENs strategy server will have a great influence in the market based on location services.

GeoLENs strategy server is a unique product in supporting IP-based wired and wireless networks. After the operator installs the Andrew policy server, it can ensure that only authorized users can access the location information. For example, the operator can decide whether to send all, part or none of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) assistance data to the mobile terminal requesting positioning information. Users can also customize different levels of service according to this function.

"Security, privacy, and full use of network resources are fundamental to GeoLENs' policy server service." Baker added.

However, in an emergency situation where public safety personnel try to locate a user in distress, the policy server will not restrict positioning information. In this case, GeoLENs strategy server will also provide as accurate positioning information as possible.

GeoLENs strategy server can be installed as an independent platform, or it can work with other external strategy servers. For large networks, the strategy server can be deployed as an independent platform, can store and manage up to 70 million user records, and is compatible with multiple servers and network protocols. The access rights policy is stored in the internal database. If necessary, it can also be used to query external resources and supervise the correct policy through system configuration. For relatively small systems, GeoLENs strategy servers can be integrated into the network's existing server network. GeoLENs strategy server configured in this way can store and manage more than 250,000 user records.

Andrew's GeoLENs strategy server is developed in collaboration with operators, according to their actual needs. The company is working hard to integrate the strategy server into its GeoLENs mobile positioning center, and its independent version will be available in 2010.
