NETHERLANDS, April 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- AND International Publishers N.V. has applied for a patent on a new technology that makes it possible to create even faster and more detailed route planners. Using Unique Connection Points (UCP), it is now much easier to integrate different geographical databases with one another. Until now, a lot of work had to be done by hand to integrate data provided by different suppliers, but the UCP software now ensures that the data is seamlessly (and automatically) integrated.
The key advantages of UCP are that new products can now be developed faster and with much lower production costs, and that routing solutions are feasible on any scale and with a worldwide coverage. The unique UCP technology has countless applications for the development of logistic solutions and it will also be of the greatest value in the development of the mobile Internet market. UCP makes it possible to rapidly and inexpensively integrate all kinds of geographical information, which in turn will form the basis for many location based services on next generation mobile devices. These services will be of great advantage for people who are out on the road a lot of the time for either work or pleasure.
UCP provides AND the key to solving existing location data integration problems in the mobile Internet market. The company is already talking to a number of external parties about widespread use of UCP technology.
