MobileGates partners include ESRI, (World leading developer of GIS software with more than 300,000 clients), TeleAtlas (Leader in Mapping Data Technologies), Meteorlogix (World's Largest Business Weather Company) and other industry leaders to provide nationwide (over 93 markets of real-time incident and construction data and real-time 20 markets of speed data) traffic and mapping data) along with fuel pricing and location for 90% of the fuel stations across the nation.
With our proprietary software and ESRI's superior mapping tools, TeleAtlas Maps and Data and Meteorlogix's weather data, phone users can view the weather, locate a fuel station or pull up new driving directions to work around a recent traffic alert. Which is another feature MobileGates offers. Our core technology can determine the exact location of a caller without the use of GPS, so users can pull up a map based on their current locations," says Tony Meador, CEO, MobileGates.
MobileGates adds robust color mapping with personalized address-to-address route selection for consumers, truckers and enterprise customers.
"MobileGates' wireless API makes it easy for our customers to avoid the costly investment in wireless commerce and wireless carrier relationship management required to put their business onto cellular phones," Meador concluded.
