Es sind wohl schon Gespräche mit Verizon und anderen im Gang. Wenn ich die Zeichen in den USA richtig deute, dann brodelt der Viulkan und ist kurz vor einem Ausbruch. Was meint ihr?
Gruß Ruebe
kleiner Auszug, siehe Seite 6:
"....Bis Okt. 2000 muß hier von allen Carriern eine Stellungnahme vorliegen, um die erste Stufe bis Okt. 2001 umzusetzen. Anders ausgedrückt: Die Börse wird die Kursentwicklung von USWC in Anlehnung an Aufträge kommentieren, die bis Okt.2000 erwartet werden. Es ist indes nie auszuschließen, daß der gestzgeber eine verlängerung der Fristen ermöglicht, die das Modell von uswc zeitl. beeinflussen können. Techn. Erneuerungen sind ebenfalls nie auszuschließen....."
soweit so gut

So nun zu meiner Überschrift, manche mögen sich fragen was US Wireless, IVU und GAP verbindet?
GAP wirbt damit, daß der Mobilfunkstandard GSM und das satellitengestützte Ortungssystem GPS miteinander verbunden und deren Informationen mittels GAP-Technologien genutzt werden.
IVU gibt an, daß mittels einer Software im Handy eine Ortung des Handys ohne das offenbar teure GPS möglich ist. Hier werden von IVU für die Transportbranche individuelle Lösungen erarbeitet.
US Wireless gibt an, daß eine Ortung von Handys ohne GPS und ein paar andere features mittels deren Technologien möglich wird. Dabei wird auf ein ausgedehntes Patentportfolio von US Wireless verwiesen.
Fazit:
Alle drei für sich erwecken den Eindruck als seien sie die Einzigen und ersten mit einem Ortungssystem für Handys, - merkwürdig oder?
GAP scheint etwas zu machen, daß nur vorteilhaft ist, wenn kein Handyempfang möglich ist (wenn ich IVU Statements zur Verwendung von GPS und nicht GPS richtig verstehe).
Weder US Wireless noch IVU scheinen über eine "einzigartige" Handyortungsmethode zu verfügen, jedoch sollten sich beide Unternehmen mal die Patente des anderen Unternehmens ansehen, falls deren Technologien wirklich so ähnlich sind.
Viel heiße Luft in der Branche?

IVU ist nicht schlecht - ist aber in den USA ein Risiko. Sie haben bisher noch keine offiziellen Tests in den USA durchgeführt, ohne die eine Zulassung für die USA nicht möglich ist.
USWC hat in der gesamten USA mittlerweile schon ein umspannendes Netz aufgebaut, die Zusammenarbeit mit der Tower Association (ein Verband der 10000 höchsten Häuser in den USA) hat geholfen. USWC ist nur fixiert auf die Vergabe der mobil-Ortung in den Staaten und hat den entscheidenden Test im Bundesstaat Montana mit Bravour bestanden.
Meines Erachtens wird USWC den Zuschlag bekommen - die Kurse zeigen ja heute auch schon wieder, dass die Amerikaner mehr und mehr an USWC glauben.
Gruß Ruebe
Aber um etwas präziser zu werden, ich habe mir nicht den Spaß nehmen lassen und mal nach Patenten von US wireless und IVU zu recherchieren. Dabei gab's folgendes Ergebnis:
US Wireless hält derzeit 6 erteilte US Patente, zu denen keine korrespondierenden Auslandspatente existieren. Eine weitere weltweite Patentanmeldung wurde gefunden. Die Patentansprüche sehen bezgl. des Schutzumfanges mittelgut aus (soweit auf die schnelle seriös bewertbar).
Zu IVU Traffic Technologies oder Herrn Herbert Sonntag oder Manfred Gerbner als Anmelder oder Erfinder von Patenten hatte ich keine Treffer.
Fazit: Die Chancen stehen nicht schlecht, daß IVU und US Wireless jeder auf seinen Heimatmärkten kein Patentproblem mit dem Wettbewerber bekommen könnte (Schutzrechtsanmeldungen in den letzten 18 Monaten sind jedoch noch nicht veröffentlicht). IVU scheint seine intellectual property's nicht zu schützen (wenn ich keinen Recherchenfehler gemacht habe).

Viel Glück ruebe

Usw hat ein Netz im großen Rahmenfertid, dies mit einer guten Genauigkeit. Der Kurs wird in den Staaten gemacht, wir haben keinen Einfluß darauf.
Jeder soll selber überlegen, ob er einsteigt, ich zumindest bin drinn.
Der Kurs spricht für sich, HP ist auch nicht zuverachten. USW hat bereits andere sehr gute Verträge. Was wollt ihr eigentlich ? Ist doch alles ok.
:))
Ja, den starken Kursrutsch habe ich auch nicht ganz verstanden, bin jetzt aber auch wieder drin und bin ganz optimistisch. Am 1.10.2000 sind wir schlauer, entweder L oder 0.

Ich beobachte das Treiben weiter...

FCC EASES E-911 HANDSET ROLL-OUT, STICKS TO 2001 DEADLINE
Sep. 20, 2000 (Global Positioning & Navigation News, Vol. 10, No. 19 via COMTEX)
-- The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) responded this month to
previous complaints by wireless carriers and handset makers about the deadlines for achieving precise location of wireless emergency E-911 callers. FCC gave carriers with GPS-based handset solutions another 12 months to achieve full market penetration. Carriers also got an extra six weeks upfront to declare their technology choice. The agency made some changes in the GPS handset deployment schedule, but stuck to its Oct. 1, 2001, initial implementation deadline for both handset and network solutions.
The FCC move "opens a slightly larger window for GPS in handsets," says Andrew Rimkus, vice president of marketing with Integrated Data Communications (IDC), which has developed GPS-based wireless location solutions. Nevertheless, some commercial GPS-based products will be available before Oct. 1, 2001, he predicts. IDC is working with AAA's telematics unit, Response Services, to support GPS-assisted mobile phones by early next year (GPNN, Aug. 9, 2000).
Qualcomm [QCOM], meanwhile, says it's confident that phones with its integrated MSM3300 GPS/CDMA solution will be coming to market soon. KDDI, the second-largest wireless carrier in Japan, has required its suppliers to use the MSM3300 for position location, the company says. Qualcomm expects GPS-enabled handsets to hit the Japanese market next spring. Based on past experience, similar handsets should appear in the U.S. market by next summer, Qualcomm representatives say. The company has not disclosed any deals with U.S. carriers. The MSM3300 is to ship in commercial volumes by Q4 of this year.
"Because all the carriers are saying they need more time to make a decision," FCC necessarily has to let them proceed at their chosen pace, says Elliott Hamilton, senior vice president of Strategis Group, a market research firm in Washington, D.C. "But the [Oct. 1, 2001] deadline is seriously in question." The decision is indicative of the complexity of the issue, he says.
Although the GPS side got a break, it's not time for them to celebrate, says
Oliver Hilsenrath, chairman and CEO of U.S. Wireless [USWC, USP], which provides a network-based location solution. "The fact that the GPS community is slowing the availability of their solution is only going to reduce their market share." This is a "narrowing of the window of opportunity for those handsets."
FCC's basic adherence to its existing schedule will speed up things on the
handset side, says analyst Clem Driscoll, president of C.J. Driscoll Associates, Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. "There has been a momentum shift toward networks over the last 12 months, as handset-based solutions have dragged along," he says. But if GPS phones get out to the market and provide the necessary performance and services at an acceptable cost, they'll be very successful, regardless of network solutions, he says.
The new FCC order also granted GSM-standard carrier VoiceStream - which is using a hybrid solution - two years' grace on reaching handset-required accuracy levels of 50 meters (67 percent of the time) and 150 meters (95 percent of the time). Two commissioners disagreed with the VoiceStream decision, although mainly on administrative grounds. Qualcomm has opposed granting a waiver to VoiceStream. "The FCC conclusion that there is no viable wireless solution for location in the GSM market is incorrect," Qualcomm representatives say. In fact, Qualcomm and its SnapTrack unit have demonstrated GSM-based location technology in Europe and the U.S., they say.
The agency also eliminated the separate, and possibly more aggressive, set of deadlines for handset-based solutions, originally to be triggered by a public safety request for service.
E-911 Deadlines Shift
* Nov. 9, 2000: Carriers choose handset or network location technology. Extended from Oct. 1, 2000.
* Oct. 1, 2001: Carriers begin selling, activating ALI*-capable handsets.
Extended from March 1, 2001.
* Dec. 31, 2001: 25 percent of all new handsets activated are to be ALI-
capable.

* Dec. 31, 2002: All new digital handsets, ALI-capable. Extended from Oct. 1,2002.
* Dec. 31, 2005: Carriers to reach full penetration of subscriber bases with
ALI-capable handsets. Extended from Dec. 31, 2004.
*ALI is automatic location identification Source: FCC
Der Artikel ist deswegen auch gut, weil man mal die Konkurrenten von USWC sieht. Ich bin trotzdem noch positiv getsimmt für USWC.
Und zu furby: Das Interview von Hilsenrath war wirklich nict doll.
Gruß ruebe
Hey .. bei Hrct lag ich falsch .. dachte es geht aufwärts heute, wird allerdings noch kommen.
Hab mich ja schon öfter geirrt, bin halt kein Guru .. aber wenn ich jetzt aus USW raus bin .. vielleicht geht ja auch dieser Schuß nach hinten los ..
Ihr solltet dann einsteigen, denn in Werten, wo ich drinn bin, läuft scheinbar nix. Wenn ihr wollt, verklopp ich meine Hrct dann auch und ihr spendiert mir von euren Gewinnen, die ihr dann damit macht, nen vollen Kühlschrank.

verlängert bis 1.November,jedoch hört sich das nach heftiger Konkurrenz von Seiten der GPS Firmen wie Qualcomm an
Uswc hat als einziges Unternehmen die von der FCC geforderten Tests bestanden. Wenn sich die Mobil-Betreiber jetzt für GPS entscheiden, gehen sie ein großes Risiko ein. Erstens haben sie noch keine Zulassung, zweitens steht nicht fest, ob sie bis zum 1. Oktober 2001 tatsächlich landesweit die mobiles orten können, drittens, brauchen alle mobiles eine zusätzliche Antenne im handy (das widerspricht dem Wunsch nach immer kleineren handys) und viertens gibt es Konflikte über die Bandbreiten mit dem Militär, das GPS in bestimmten Gebieten der USA nicht für public freigeben wird.
Also Fragen über Fragen - und in nur sechs Wochen wird entschieden.
Das USWC nach sieben Tagen Steigflug nach so einer Meldung auch mal 13 Prozent verlieren kann, ist nicht weiter verwunderlich - es ist sogar gesund.
Gruß ruebe
Wieso eigentlich die zeitlichen Aufschübe, wo doch USWC seine Hausaufgaben offenbar gemacht hatte? Der einzige Profiteur ist dann doch nur die GPS Fraktion. Kann man solche zeitlichen Aufschübe erreichen, wenn die GPS'ler eine finanzschwache Lobby hätten?
Technisch erscheint es mir nach Studium der IVU Kommentare zu Handy mit oder ohne GPS eigentlich recht klar pro USWC. Verstehen die Amerikaner die Technik nicht oder habe ich etwas nicht verstanden?
Fragen über Fragen... furby
Der Nachteil von USWC: Die Technik ist stationär. USWC hat in den vergangenen zwei Jahren ein Netz in großen US-Städten, in einigen Bundesstaaten und bei der Truck-driver-Corp. aufgebaut. Diese Technik ist nicht so einfach auf Kanada oder Mexico zu übertragen, auch da muss erst ein Netz aufgebaut werden. Da ist GPS einfach flexibler, aber teurer, in den USA teilweise militärisch genutzt, etc.
Und der große Vorteil von USWC: Sie haben die Testes der FCC bestanden, die anderen müssen sie erst bestehen.
