PARIS -- Intersec, the leading software vendor enabling telecom operators to derive value from their network big data and to facilitate services innovation, announced today that Portugal Telecom has selected its geolocation solution, IGLOO, to help generate new source of revenue through Location Based Services. IGLOO is a network enabler which consolidates real-time intelligence from the mobile operator’s network including subscriber location information on a mass scale. Residing in the operator network, IGLOO anonymously aggregates and manages subscriber and location information to enable the creation of location-based services. By collecting the metadata from the operators’ network, while simultaneously integrating active geolocation capabilities, operators such as Portugal Telecom or additional third parties will be able to use these exclusive insights for purposes including geomarketing, urban planning and density maps.
