TCS has made its name in enhanced 911 services, and also is a leader in text-messaging and LBS solutions. Networks In Motion, for its part, provides white-labeled LBS solutions for Verizon Wireless.
“Location-based services are experiencing substantial growth and we believe that this is the right time to invest to strengthen our participation in this space,” said Maurice B. Tos
