Telenity has unveiled a location-based services (LBS) solution to India's state-owned telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) through its partner Tier 1 network equipment providers (NEPs).

Telenity, a provider of next generation converged services platforms and applications for communications networks, will provide its Canvas Location Enabling Server (LES) and 14 location-based services to BSNL that will enable the operator to offer personalised value added services to its mobile customers. This scalable location solution will serve BSNL's network infrastructure, which is reportedly expected to grow from 14 million to 70 million subscribers.

Telenity's LBS solution is part of BSNL's expansion of its GSM/GPRS digital wireless network in the South, East and North zones of India. It includes Telenity's Canvas LES, which enables subscribers to find, locate or monitor phones and other assets based on their geographic position and points of interest and fine-tune their privacy profile on the fly, and 14 LBS including Real Time Fleet and Asset Management, Friend Finder, Mobile Yellow Pages and City Sightseeing.

Telenity's LBS solution is developed utilising the Canvas service creation environment, telephony applications server and service delivery gateway. It is positioned for VAS in IP multimedia subsystem-enabled and 3G networks.
