Telmap, a specialist in mobile location solutions, today announced that it is delivering an 'advanced' navigation and location based service for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) based on the Intel Atom processor and Linux-based Moblin platform.
The Intel Atom processor is said to deliver high performance at dramatically lower power while delivering a compelling Internet experience for MIDs. MIDs are expected to support always-on connectivity, high-resolution displays and touch-screen interfaces, which make them ideally suited for advanced search, mapping and navigation solutions.
"As the need for mobility and always-on internet connectivity take a firmer grip on our society, the extension of our business to support the MID category was clearly a natural step for Telmap", says Oren Nissim, CEO of Telmap. "We see MIDs as another great platform that will drive a more connected and location-aware society. The high performance of the Intel Atom processor will support our technology requirements, and in turn will provide an advanced user experience in mobile navigation and location technologies."
"Mobile Internet Devices are ideally suited to deliver real-time Internet-based navigation and location based services on the go," said Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs in the Ultra Mobility Group at Intel Corporation. "The high performance and visual capabilities of MIDs enabled by the Intel Atom processor, combined with Telmap's expertise in navigation and location services, will make it easier to bring these experiences to people."
Telmap will unveil and demonstrate Mobile Internet Devices running its Telmap Navigator application at Mobile World Congress.
