HERE-Transsion partnership to enhance location accuracy experience for smartphone users

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 -- HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, announced that Transsion, has selected HERE Network Positioning to improve its location accuracy capabilities in emerging markets such as Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand.

Director and Head of Business for Greater China at HERE Technologies, Sammie Xi said: “Transsion is taking a big step forward in enhancing the quality of data within emerging economies.

“This is truly meaningful and inspiring. We’ve seen how the pandemic has profoundly impacted our lives, economies, and the global digital landscape. We are immensely proud to support Transsion in providing a more inclusive connected world for consumers.”

Meanwhile, Assistant President at Transsion, Robin Wang said: “As a technology company with a focus on global emerging markets, we’ve long been committed to supporting local communities there. We’ve decided to deploy with HERE because they have presented a stand-out, compelling solution for markets that lack advanced infrastructure such as Africa and India.”

By deploying HERE Network Positioning, Transsion, the leading provider of smart devices and mobile services in global emerging markets, will be able to identify accurate positioning of its devices both indoors and outdoors, according to a statement.

This works especially when satellite signals of Global Positioning System (GPS) are not available, such as when the device is located indoor or the GPS signals are blocked by objects.

As a result, Transsion will enable its smartphone users to locate devices, people, and objects faster, with higher precision and confidence. 

HERE Network Positioning enables Transsion to gain an edge over its competitors by providing its users with more accurate calculations of estimated times of arrivals (ETA) and precise pick-up and drop-off locations.

End users of Transsion will also benefit from more accurate positionings which may otherwise be affected due to the presence of buildings, trees, tunnels, bridges and atmospheric conditions that can put direct drivers to wrong locations.
