Mobile operators that need strong in-house location-privacy management, location billing functionality, provisioning interfaces and links to various content databases get all this functionality from the LocatioNet middleware.

The LocatioNet middleware is comprised of a set of modules offered in any required combination:

• Comprehensive location privacy management. This module serves both consumer and enterprise applications. It allows users to decide who can see their location, when, and how precisely, application by application
  
  
• Billing for location. This module gives operators a flexible set of billing options for their location and GPS services. For example, mobile operators can choose to bill per “location fix” , per map rendered, per route, etc. The billing module generates CDR information and interfaces with the carrier's billing and prepaid systems
  
  
• Provisioning. The provisioning module enables operators to provision user‑to‑location and GPS applications. It supports LDAP interfaces as well as direct provisioning into the system
  
  
• Content interfaces. This module enables operators to take advantage of content properties they have access to (such as local news, the weather, points of interest, traffic, etc.), by linking them to the location and GPS infrastructure
