At home the world over

Location Based Services from T-Systems give you information tailored to your specific position and needs – worldwide.

Whenever we go somewhere new – on business, vacation or an impromptu excursion – we like to gain our bearings as quickly as possible. With Location Based Services (LBS) from T-Systems, you can navigate new surroundings with the same ease as your hometown.

LBS captures and collates data, news and information relevant to your current whereabouts, whether you’re dwarfed by skyscrapers, strolling through the stores, or playing golf with the boss. Using GPRS, your cell phone streams the content to you in no time at all – ensuring that an unfamiliar environment is simply a refreshing change of scene, and not an unpleasant trip into the unknown.

No more wild-goose chases

Where’s the nearest garage with parking spaces available? The next ATM? Or restaurant with wireless Internet access? Just a few clicks on your cell phone, and LBS gives you directions, weather forecasts and tips for shopping or eating-out. It also enables you to buy tickets for public transport – using your cell phone to make cashless payments. Or to check in at the airport. And that means greater convenience for locals and visitors alike.

"Hello?” – “Yes, we’ve just arrived at the course. Where are you?” – “Ninth hole by the bunker, fine. How do we get there?” No problem with the Buddy Finder, a GPS tracking system that identifies the quickest way to your friends. All sorted then. Or not. You rang your boss’s cell phone just as he was swinging, and he’s hit an ugly hook into the heavy rough. At least with LBS we can help you find his ball. Using RFID technology, it’s a piece of cake.
